I love hot and spicy food. Thats all we eat here. Everything we cook has to have a little spicy to it or more. I live in the southern portion of the united states and thats all the majority of the people here love.

No, I can't eat hot and spicy foods. But I do lov ethem. I have acid reflex. Also known as gerd. So if I try I will pay for it later by puking my guts out. My teenage boy does love hot and spicy stuff. So I make it for him often.

Yea...some people just can't take hot and spicy ,because the burning sensation is horrible if you can't take it..:)

I love hot and spicy foods, yummy. I have to tell you though that water will only increase the burn. If you drink something sugary or put sugar in your mouth the burn will ease faster.

You know what would really make your tongue sting after eating spicy food? Hot drinks, like hot coffee! LOL~! Try it~! =D

Yes~! I love spicy food: curry, hot Italian sausage, etc. Instead of water, I usually keep a glass of soymilk or red bean soup nearbly; the milky taste neutralizes the spiciness on my tongue.

I used to be able to eat it all. Now I have to be selective as to what is in it, somethings are just not worth the heartburn!

I too like hot and spicy food. In India almost everything except sweets are spicy. All meat and vegitable preperations are with a lot of chillie, coriander, turmeric, tamerind, cloves, cardomom, ginger, pepper etc. Spicy food is our culture. Than kyou 321633wy.

I am the complete opposite. I cant eat anything hot and spicy. I have tried a few different things that were spicy and i have enjoyed soem of the flavors of the foods but then i get the burn in my mouth and that ruins it. I just cant see how anyone can enjoy eating something that makes their mouth uncomfortable and then their stomach and so forth. But to each their own. My hubby likes the occasional spicy food so i have to make it from time to time
