I love hot food. I never used to though, the hottest I could eat a few years ago was a Tikka Masala... until I discovered Louisiana hot sauce
I'm not overly struck on spicy curries but I love spicy Mexican, Southern, Thai and Chinese
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
I agree the hotter the better, I get shouted at for putting tabasco on most meals and just ordering the hottest dish from most menu's.

I do love a hot curry. Vindaloo most of the time - though I draw the line at a Phal, that's just silly.
I love heat, but also love flavour. Some of the best curries I've had were in Sri Lanka and The Maldives. Fish curry for breakfast whilst in The Maldives. Well, when in Rome and all that.
Heat for heat's sake is often just a macho thing most of the time, and I think that's just daft, but heat and taste is something else.
I love spicy food. Its even better when the food is meant to be spicy. I'm not talking about just loading up the Franks Red Hot sauce on it, I'm talking about something that was cooked to be spicy.
I still add hot sauce to just about everything though. Try adding it to your B's and G's next time. YOu'll never go back.

I love spicy food too. Thai, Indian, some Caribean you name it. What i don't like is so hot you can't bare to eat it. I like it to have good heat but not ruin the flavor of the food if that makes sense.

I live in Texas. If it isn't spicy, I usually don't bother.
By the way, you get addicted to spicy food because of the way your body reacts to it, releasing extra endorphins to counter the pain.
When capsaicin, the element of chili peppers that cause the "spicy" sensation, comes into contact with the tongue, the body is tricked into believing that it is in pain and releases the pain-relieving endorphins.

Mexican food is my favourite food. I can't wait to visit Mexico and taste the real thing.
I see hot food as a challenge. You have to try and eat through the pain barrier. Sometimes though a hot chillie can really blow your head off.
You may be disappointed. I've been to Mexico many times because of my job (interior Mexico too, not the resorts) and without generalizing, the local food is usually very bland with little to no spice. They serve everything with a little side dish that you can mix spices and limes together and kind of do it yourself, but most authentic Mexican food is bland.
That's not to say I didn't enjoy it. It was just way different than what I expected.

Thanks. I wondered about that. Maybe I'll take my own bottle of Ass Blaster with me when I visit. :twisted:

Whatever you do, if you eat meat, get cabritos. Baby goat. They serve it on tortillas or sometimes with a spicy sauce and rice. Pretty awesome.

We have a company here that sells awesome shilli sauces and pastes etc They have crazy names like Devil's Delirium and Dragon's Blood.... so hot you won't taste anything for the rest of the day! http://www.thechillifactory.com/index.php?p=Home
Love hot food, but can't have to much any more unfortunately as I will pay for it for days. Not good...damned stupid body. :roll:

The wifey and I are addicted to the spice. We challenge chefs to make things hot enough they don't think we can eat it. Thai spice is heavenly. Does anyone body else push through the burn until you are almost giddy and hallucinating... almost. We have sat in a restaurant howling with laughter over nothing really while sweat poured from our faces. Too much fun.
Until the next morning anyway... :oops:

Been there, yup. The vast majority of people will never "get" it. It's all good. I love a good spice "tunnel vision coma". I bowled the best game of my life while eating wings I had to sign a waiver for. I had such tunnel vision that I blocked out everything else and the pins became a matter of life and death.
The "next day double burn" has apparently shifter with age and is now the "3am double burn", so I have to be careful when I eat really spicy stuff...habaneros especially.

Love me some spicy food. I had some Pad Thai at a festival here in SLC over the weekend and it was delicious. Bring on the heat!

My husband is from Indian subcontinent, I'm from Texas - we like the hot food definitely. A good meal includes a dish of raw serrano chilis to bite while you eat your other food and we throw serranos in just about everything we cook. His opinion though, is that food from his place is just food, not 'spicy food'!
Does anyone like jalapeno-garlic grits? They are awesome! Just saute a bunch of garlic in oil, throw in a bunch of chopped jalapeno, black pepper, mix in the cooked grits in the saute pan and yum.

this idiotic woman can eat these ghost chillies and then she even rubs them on her eyes afterwards... she's become immune to them or something.
still seems a pointless thing to do... that be like me gently stroking broccoli or richard gere sticking a gerbil up his a... ahhh you get the idea.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
I love spicy stuff too! Anyone a fan of the Dave's Insanity Sauce line?
I wanna try some of that. I read an article in a lads mag years ago where the writer attempted to work his way up the chain of ever hotter sauces. It was the first time I'd heard of Dave's Insanity sauce.
The only ones I've tried are two bottles I bought in Florida a few years ago - 'Elvis' Burnin' Love hot sauce', and 'Elvis's 'Don't Be Cruel Hot Sauce'. They were hot, but not too hot. They both fit into the mild range of sauces on the website - http://www.hotsauceworld.com/hot-sauce---mild--.html

They do say chilli is addictive;

I know what you mean. Phal's are crazy hot.
If it gets to the stage where I can't taste what I'm eating, only the spice, then it takes the enjoyment out of the meal.
I still add hot sauce to just about everything though. Try adding it to your B's and G's next time. YOu'll never go back.
