I know in general asians loveeee spices and they put it on practically everything.

How much can you tolerate?

Ever since I was young I'd squirt Ot Tuong (the hot sauce) to the maaaax on practically everything. Now I can even handle jalepeno peppers. but that's about it xP my friend can't even handle hot cheetos or cornnuts o_o;;
Mistral
I love habaneros!! k not plain tho..i love habanero sauce. especially on steak. hmm what else.. you know when u go to thai restaurants and they ask you for a spicyness rating for a dish? .. so from 1-5..i can probably handle a 4 but with a 5, i can't taste anything..its just spicy. i usually eat curry tho haha

I love love spicy food! Asian spicy, to me is way different from other "spicy" in other foods. I love the little peppers, don't know what they are supposed to be called in English, but you can find them in asian grocery stores.

Omg! Pretty good.... my mum's food is naturally spicy so I love it.

My friend can't handle spicy at all though.... my mum made chowmein once and we mixed it with sweet chilli sauce.. and her eyes were watering and nose was running and she needed lots of drink. O____o

Haha. =D

Eck..Hot Cheetos aren't even hott. dry.gif I can stand the spiciness but to only to a point. I can't stand wasabi though, it's too hot. =x Or a huge squirt of Laht Jew (Chili pepper sauce).

My parents buy habanero peppers and grind them up to put in soy sauce to dipping.
I can handle that.
And the shin ramen made by nongshim is pretty hot (it made me cry the first time I ate it) but I can eat the whole thing without water now xP

I have a natural fondness of hot & spicy foods and a considerably high tolerance for the same. Habaneros are great on burgers and in salads. I like flavour with my spice, but one of the hottest substances to touch my lips (aside from my fiance's lips) was Dave's Insanity Sauce. I haven't tried his Total Insanity Sauce or Ultimate Insanity Sauce, or whatever beat it out for the title, not because I'm a-scared, I just can't find it. But now that we have this great 'light-box of knowledge' and Al Gore's creation, I should have some waiting for me when I return from sabatical.

Scoville units:

standard Tabasco = 2,500

Dave's Insanity Sauce = 50,000



Dave's hotter brands = 90,000 to 250,000 & the Private Reserve at 300,000 to 500,000 WTF?!?!?
Blair Lazar's 16 Million Reserve = 16,000,000 (duh!)
Keep these away from me - I have yet to back down from a triple dog dare (within reason)

REALLY high! when i make ramen, i always put lots of this vietnamese hot sauce and hot peppers + leek . it's sooooo yummy! =p
le_lisa
i would say quite high =) i like everything with hotsauce. HAHA

Spicy food... I can't really take it anymore. Hot sauce is okay. I can start to feel sweat though.

When I was little, I just poored like tonnes of hot sauce into my dishes and dip them like it was ketchup. But now, if i eat too much I'll get pimples.

REALLY high! I love adding pepper and hot sauce and peppers to everything! It's hilarious because it'll be burning my tongue, but I'll still enjoy it all the same. LOL. =D

Yea same here. Sometimes I can't take it, but I like to eat it. So I'm crying, and doing the weird breathing thing, yet still somehow enjoying my food. sweatingbullets.gif

I eat hot sauce with every meal.
If its asian food I usually use saracha sauce.
If its american I usually throw in some jalepenos.

Even though sometimes it gets really really spicy for me I still continue eating until I finish my meal tongue.gif
tOasty
Wow. So many people can eat such spicy foods!
Mine is at a low medium I guess. tongue.gif
JapaneseObesession
I'm 0!! xD

I seriuosly cannot handle ANY spicy stuff ><

I once went to CHina, and we went to like McDonalds or KFC or whatever, and I got these chicken wings

since I couldn't read Chinese, I didn't know that they were spiced up ~_~

5 minutes after eating the first one, my stomach hurt like h`ll ><

I really like Si Chuan food -- spicy to the max.

I am a spice freak. My spice tolerance is really, really high. It's pretty ridiculous.

I've always wanted to try really spicy kimchi. From what I hear, Korean food is pretty spicy. Is that true?
malevolent.
When I was young, I would never touch anything that had even the slightest hint of chili, pepers, etc. But NOW, I put hot sauce on basically everything!
crackednut
umm...not very good
I don't mind a little spice with good flavor
but I can't handle all heat and no flavor

sriracha sauce can get too hot for me laugh.gif

I do pretty good with spicy food.
Afterwards, my lips inflat by about 3 inches. HAHA
AntKun

On a scale on 1 to 5 on tolerance, I probably rate at 2 >.<
