Poll: How spicy do you like your food?

[Singularly Datarific]

I realize as I chew through my sandwich that it is pretty damn spicy. I've always liked spicy foods, and usually get things as hot as they can get.
What is the average Escapist's capacity for capsasin?

I like my food darn near radioactive.

Medium-Hot personally. I tend to put a lot of pepper and spices on pretty much anything I eat. Just enough to get the roof of my mouth burning a little nothing too extreme.

I've only recently gotten into spicy foods. I can't handle much outside of a "4" on the scale of the Thai restaraunt I go to every now and then. But I do like having a little bit of heat in the food I eat.

I voted "Enough for flavour".

 

[Aris Khandr]

Not at all. I generally dislike strong flavours in general, but spiciness is especially bad for me.

A few years ago I was adding cayenne pepper to everything I ate; from pasta to ice cream and even cereal. After a while I realized I wasn't even enjoying my meals anymore, I would just suffer through them panting and sweating. I toned it down for a while until my friend grew some ghost peppers and rekindled my love for heat. I have since tried the hybrid Naga/Jolokia peppers as well and, sadly, nothing else really tastes all that hot anymore.

Wait; food can be spicy? And with that, you can guess my policy on spices and how little of it I use, if at all.
