It seems like in the area of food and drink...
Some like it hot and some like it cold...
I like cold or iced water and other beverages much better than I like hot beverages.
I like medium hot spices in Mexican and Indian food. I though cannot handle Wasabi or eating chillis or hot peppers when they are not with tomatoes or other things that make them less hot. I use a lot of yogert, lime, sour cream, etc. on things that are too hot.
How about you?
Do you like hot or cold drinks?
Do you like spicy foods?
How hot do you like it... what is your limit?
What do you do if something is too hot?

It is good that we change our diets according to the weather... It makes more sense. Thanks for posting.

I love my drinks cold! But in the morning I like to have something hot with my breakfast, usually hot chocolate or hot white chocolate or hot chocolate with peanut butter in it! Lol, it all sounds fattening huh? I have yet to put on size. Anyway...
Spicy foods, yes! I have a love for them, but I need to keep myself in check cause if I start to eat too much (over a period of time) it starts to affect my tummy
HOT! I have eaten stuff which has made even my ears burn me and I just sit there for a while and fan my mouth with my hand while my mouth and tongue is brawling for dear life! This recently happened when I made mango chow...I didn't realize the mango didn't need so many spices and I blended the hot pepper with the rest of seasonings...boy! Talk about hot but good!
Never drink water, especially cold water in an attempt to cool pepper from your mouth, it makes it worse. You can put some brown sugar in your mouth though, it is said it helps to cool it down but I never tried it, I just withstand the heat till it subsides.

Cold iced drink and hot food is simply a good balancing combination for me. Hot here does not means spicy but fire heat which make the food more tastier compare to de-heated one.

I am gluttonous.I love eating deliscious food so much.So hot or cold is also like.
Which is better is depend on the season.In winter,i prefer to eat and drink hot foods or drinks.It will help me to fight back the cold and let me feel warm from my body.I love eating chaffy dish with my family or friends.It is so deliscious.Now i am drivel.In summer,oh,the icecream is so wonderfu.It's cool to me.with the pollution of the environment,the summer is hotter and hotter,so ice is more important for me in summer.When i see films and watch Tv at family,i prefer to lie in the sofa eating icecream or drinking cold drinks.It enjoys the life.

You are the first person who has admitted to being gluttonous... Usually people are it but deny that they are so you are refreshing.
Thanks for sharing about your choices in food and drink.

I like to drink my favorite flavored coffee with my favorite flavored cream; both iced and hot. I love to eat my favorite meals hot or warm. I love eating my favorite yogurts cold. Yeah, everyone loves having ice cream cold. I enjoy eating chili hot or warm.

normaly i like cold drins because the weather in my country is so hot. but if im cold or i have an upset stomach, definitely i'll have a warm drink which makes me feel better. i like spicy foods but not too spicy, i too do'tlike wasabii as i feelits a different kind of spicy-ness which goes up to your nose and head. i like chilli only if its spicy because i don't like the green taste. if what i take is too ot i'll drink milk if im at home because that helps. or i'll drink called 'pat poh' in my country because it can cool the tongue. i've heard that warm tea helps too but i never tried it before as im ot really a tea person

It's very hot where I live so I prefer cold drinks from water to shakes and teas. Sometimes, whenever I eat at a Chinese or Japanese restaurant, I'll have hot tea to wash away the grease, but most of the time I prefer cold drinks. As for spicy food, I can't handle them! I get the sniffles and it gives me acne problems sometimes so I tend to avoid Indian or Thai food. If possible, I also request whoever's preparing the food to make it mild or not spicy at all.

I prefer cold drinks than hot. Am not addicted to coffee or tea. As far as food is concerned, I like having spicy food. But not plenty of oil in it.

For drinks,I prefer warm or hot as my tummy cant stand cold/ ice drinks. When I have my drinks outside, I used to take fruit juice with very little ice added ( 1 or 2 ice cube only ) or those hot sweet chinese soup like red beans soup, green beans soup and etc. Oh, I love spicy food, I can take very hot food but sad to say that is for last time. Nowadays, I cant take spicy food or hot pepper for continuously 3 days, otherwise I 'll have gastric. So, I've to change my eating habit and try to cut down on spicy food .
I'll just take some warm water or milk when I've something too hot that I cant withstand. It always work for me.

You might want to try green apples sometimes after eating a meal as one friend of mine swears by it to relive stomach problems.
I hope that your stomach calms down for you. Thanks for posting.

I like cold drinks much better than I like hot drinks. I don't really like hot foods...a little spicy is ok but I can't take the really spicy stuff. If something is too hot for me then I usually don't eat it.

I love hot tea, hot coffee, cold juice, cold milk. I do not care for soda pots. I like water cold or lukewarm, but not icey. I like a variety of food either hot or cold. If it is Chili, I like it hot, and I do like spicy food. I have not eaten much Indian food, but usually I prefer the curry a little on the hot side somewhere between medium and too hot to handle. I do love yogurt, but not sour cream that much, only a little, and I have not had many limes. I do like lime juice though, but most of the time it is lemon.

Well in the summer time I prefer the colder things to eat usually due to the heat and humidity. And unless im sick i dont drink alot of hot drinks. THe hot drinks i like are herbal teas, hot chocolate, internation coffees.
Cold drinks diet drinks, iced teas sometimes.
I cannot tolerate hot and spicey foods due to my hiatia hernia, reflux, and having gall bladder out.
But i am on meds for it. lol.
When i was younger i could eat anything i wanted.
I love chili, but again cannot have it real spicy.
