I love spicy food. I put sriracha sauce on a lot of different things as well as chili flakes. Unfortunately, most of my family doesn't like spice nearly as much as me, so things are usually pretty mild in heat.
Mmm, aah! So spice!

I'm a fussy eater. I'm not fond of particular textures and of mixing foods, but when it comes to taste...avoid tomatoes and cheese, as a general rule. I don't mind spicy stuff, to en extent. Mild spice can improve things for me.
I can enjoy the higher scale of the spice they put on Nando's chicken...but I'm really into the salted chilli king prawns my local Chinese does. Singapore fried rice was good too, and it has a curryish spiciness to it. Not against it at all, but by no means a connoisseur.

I like spice, my personal preference is perhaps to an 'above average level'.
the hottest thing I ever had was a 'tinderloo'.
bout 12 years ago I was in a pub with friends, it was late and we got the munch on.
one of us popped next door to the local indian and asked for the hottest thing they had. 20 mins later he came back with what I can only describe as chicken and lava!
we all had a spoonful and everyone bar myself was soon throwing up. that stuff just went down to your stomach and burned!
Here in America they put 'spicy' on certain foods but they are not really.
buffalo sauce is alright though

I had Indian vindaloo once. Never again. I do love me some good sriracha, though. Any Mexican food I have has to be at least a little hot or I don't consider it worth it.
I don't like excessively spicy things, however I do like sprinkling chilli powder over everything (like chips, mmmm). I had noodles the other day that I poured chilli sauce and Japanese chilli powder all over and it was glorious. I needed a drink at the ready though, it was pretty hot.
I enjoy spicy/hot food. I put hot sauce on my eggs, hamburgers, pizza, and various other foods. I've gone to various local wing places and each time their "hottest" wings barely scald me. Only one place so far has made me put down the wings and only be able to eat them coated in ranch dressing and with a glass of milk. Buffalo Wild Wings' Mango Habanero. Holy shit was that shit hot. One bite practically had me in tears and running for something cold. Flavor was fantastic, but god damn was it hot.
I used to do that all the time yes, pretty much every meal had to be drowned in hot sauce and ketchup. If I tasted anything apart from burning and generic ketchup gloop then it wasn't good.
Sure am glad I got over that shit, now things actually have taste and nuance to it.

That stuffs mental. I picked up a bottle of it the other day and its damn good, but it needs to be used by october, and its not like I can use more than half a tea spoon at a time. I imagine it would go great in soup though. Have you tried their line of crisps? The habanero ones are great, although every time you eat one is making a deal with the devil: "It's so tasty but burns so much" *cry*.Queen Michael said:
Oh yes. A while back, my then-girlfriend gave me a couple of bags. She knew I liked spicy stuff and hadn't tried those.elvor0 said:
Once I ate them, I started screaming. Actually screaming.
Another time, I brought them to work. I poured two different kinds in bowls. One bowl had the habanero ones, the other had the Buffalo chicken wing ones. Then, I wrote a note saying that one of the bowls contained super-spicy chips and the other one had normal ones (hee-hee).
I love spicy food. But I like extremes of tastes. One reason I love the Philippines is because everything is sweet, salty, vinegar-y, or sour, or a strange mixture of the four. The condiments like the basic Datu Puti which is pure spicy garlic-y vinegar-y GOODNESS ... sprinkle some street food snacks like green mango slices and krill paste.
It's great stuff.
I love an extra hot beef vindaloo extra second or third night. I usually eat it with papadums alone. As if the vindaloo sauce and beef is a dip. Spicy and salty is an awesome blend. Which is why I'm not a huge fan of muted dishes and flavours like most Japanese cuisine.

Hmmm, spiciest thing... I love spice. I think it's fair to say that the spiciest things I've eaten have a bit of the home touch to it. For instance, the lovely hot salsa with the hot sauce in, or the homemade chili. Thing is, while I DO love spice, I love the flavor more than the heat, so I try not to drown it out.
Their is a rating system to determine how hot sauces and peppers are, scoville heat units its called. Tabasco sauce is about 700 SHU. I have been enjoying spicy food on and off for over a decade and currently get habanero and jalapeno sauces in the 9,000 to 11,000 rating. The pain just gets more manageable with time, in both ways. Try to find the garlic Tabasco OP, for whatever reason it is double the heat of regular, still mild and flavourful. Also Sriracha is really cheap, like 3-4$ a liter, I always keep a bottle around.
The hottest sauce you can get without signing a waiver is around 300,000 SHU, after 500,000 they are called reserves and meant for being cooked into things, not just consumed. The hottest I know of is 15,000,000 SHU, because it is on the counter at the burrito shop in town, and he refuses to let me try it.

15 *million*? Fifteen ... Is this scale one of those things that gets exponentially larger, or more like a simple linear scale of 'hotness'? Tobasco is kind of nothing ... but if >300'000 represents a medical risk requiring signing a waiver, then on a linear scale of hotness 15,000,000 is like 50 times hotter than something that could pose a significant risk requiring legal protection on behalf of a supplier.Flutterguy said:

I do like the Hot stuff, and have ate raw naga jalokia chilies on dares. That said, I think once it reaches a certain heat it works to the detriment of the food, in that it overshadows everything else. The hottest hot sauce I recommend is blairs sudden death sauce, which certainly isn't the hottest, but it has a lot of kick and still has distinguishable Limey flavours.
I used to crave the heat like few others did. Then I got an ulcer. I really don't recommend allowing that to happen to your belly. I had to tone down the spices quite a bit after that.
I still like my food to have a nice kick though. I just need to keep the heat balanced with other things so that I do not start bleeding internally again.

15 million? that's like 5X as potent as tear gas. I have trouble believing that shit exists.PaulH said:
Well there is this http://www.thegreenhead.com/2007/07/blairs-16-million-reserve-worlds-hottest-hot-sauce.php But it's noteworthy that this is not so much a sauce as it is pure caspaicin crystals. Last time I heard of pure caspaicin being offered, it came with a waiver and protective gear because getting this shit in your face is actually dangerous.
It sounds like something that would eat your teeth away to the jaw and cause your gums to haemorrhage whilst you spasm on the floor, having apocalyptic dreams on a Skynet-level of mindfuckery.jklinders said:
