Spicy food

I love spicy foods but my husband doesn't really. If he eats something with hot chilli in it he gets the hiccups. :pac:

There's a bit in Martin Amis's London Fields where one of the main characters Keith, a bit of a twat, is complaining that his curry isn't hot enough as tears stream down his face and "smoke came from his eyes"

Do you enjoy it?

I do.

But Spice is relative. And it seems to be about different spices rather than levels.

I would not be into trying to kill my tongue. If I have to ask for a milder version I will. But some spice is nice!

Spicy food is not for me. I suspect that the quality of food underneath is being masked by the flavour of hot similar to why I'm not a fan of tomato sauce - everything served with a tomato sauce tastes of tomato sauce

There's a goodfellas nacho pizza that I love,it's really spicy and I don't even like spicy food. Anyway, every time I eat it I get the Sh*ts really bad the next day. I just love the pizza so much though. My husband won't let me buy it anymore because he's sick of me moaning and groaning at 5am with poo cramps.

I'm going to get one tomorrow

I dont necessarily get the shiits but the spiciness I like so much on the way in....seems to be just as present on the way out...leading to, as johnny cash put it, a burning sphincter.

Sting ring, it's a curse!!

I got a vindaloo from the takeaway last Saturday. I didn't think I'd gotten any of the sauce on my hands...until I went to the toilet.

There was burning...

Its Ring Sting

No more than getting used to eating spicy you get somewhat desensitized to it at the other end too!!

Indonesian cucumber & carrot salad called Acar - pronounced ah-char - is brilliant for talking away the heat. Finely diced cucumber & carrot with a vinegar & sugar dressing, works a treat.

Presumably it's the sugar that helps.

I love it....

....but it hates me

Isolt · 20-02-2015 06:42PM

I love spice. Lamb vindaloo or lamb madras are my favourite. Or a spicy chicken burrito with extra chilli & jalapeno! Nom nom

Love spicy food.
Nothing better than a fiery hot Vindaloo.

That said though, I am finding it harder and harder to get food that's hot enough in this country.
I'm fed up of going through the effort of having to explain to the waiting staff/manager that the food that was supposed to be really hot just isn't.

leinsterdude · 20-02-2015 07:07PM

love the hottest vindaloo, but the pain next day.......had to drop a level.

RobYourBuilder · 20-02-2015 07:15PM

I completed my weekly shop with my younger cousin. We got some jalapeños. When we were packing away, I caught him. Dude. 'Oh, we eat them with auntie Jasmine all time.' A new super race has been formed. I grabbed Jasser on the phone "they eat jalapeños with me, yeah, yeah."

charlietheminxx · 20-02-2015 07:31PM

I like spicy food, but different levels of spice depending on what it is. It has to have a good kick, but not be overpoweringly spicy. For example, I love Indian food but tend to go for medium dishes, a madras is too hot for me to enjoy, but if I get a burrito, I always add chipotle hot sauce and jalepenos and the works without any bother! I could eat spicy buffalo wings til they came out my ears! I add cayenne and chili powder to a fair bit of my cooking too, but despite me being used to spices, I still think there's such a thing as too spicy for my palette.

RobYourBuilder · 20-02-2015 07:35PM

I would eat a raw carrot. But seeing one of my own munch on a jalapeño, kinda shocked. I knew that the younger ones enjoyed spicy food. I'm kinda in awe. I'm half tempted to through him a chilli.

I love slow gradual heat. The type when your mouth is on fire but the last bite is so worth it. The extreme instant heat isn't for me.

fleet_admiral · 20-02-2015 07:51PM

I love a good vindaloo from time to time and a phall the odd time

A nice Lamb Vindaloo is always good for what ails you, especially the next evening after a hard night out. I've gotten Lamb Phall takeaways before but they didn't seem to be any spicier than the Vindaloo. I reckon they thought we didn't know what we were ordering, so went easy on us with the heat.

I tried a Vindaloo once - with a leafy salad - five mouthfuls and I was done.

My wife considers ghost chillies as a snack, I have never seen her consider something as too hot

You have married well. I'm feeling my balls drop slower and slower in this thread.

Kin khao Thai restaurant in athlone has a thinly sliced beef salad dish and it is without a doubt the spiciest thing I have ever eaten. Would blow the head clean off ya!

sonofenoch · 20-02-2015 08:11PM

Spice burgers ...nomnomnonom

Iranoutofideas · 20-02-2015 08:15PM

If you like spicy food you should really try cooking your favourite dish at home instead of getting a takeaway. There is no comparison when you do it right and to be honest its not that hard to get it right.
