Gone were the days when I could hardly eat hot, spicy food. Oh my tongue would burn and I would rush into the sink to wash it out. But my husband who loves hot and spicy has taught me how to love the hot taste as much as he does. It's just a matter of having a little taste of what he is eating day by day and... now I feel like not satisfied if what I am eating is not hot and spicy. How about you?

I have never been able to eat spicy foods,because they do not agree with my stomach,and they often cause me to get stomach ulcers which is never fun,my fiance used to eat spicy food,but she never pressure me to eat them,a and now she has grown to where her stomach can not handle them either.

I do not know if I would say I influenced her,because I never told her she could not eat it or anything like that,I just told her I could not eat it because my stomach,that and my parents do not eat it,at least not as far as I know,so she did it,because she loves me enough to not try to make me eat it,and she respects my parents by not asking for something they will not eat, have a great day,good luck in your life,and Happy Posting.

I do really love hot and spicy foods. My meal wont be complete without chili on my plate (i.e. siling labuyo LOL). Pizza won't taste that good without hot sauce. I got used to eating spicy foods when I got married. My husband always wanted me to cook spicy foods for him.

You're right, gang. Pizzas don't taste good without hot sauce. We almost have the same taste. lol

Yes, without the chili, it feels like meal is not satisfying.

My family including me loves eating spicy foods. I added some spice just like fresh chili when I'm cooking. And we really love it, we used to it now. Sometimes, my relative who visits us can't take the hotness of the food that they're eating.

Over the past four years I've learned to love spicy foods. I can't get enough. I really like the heat from curry powder. And plus you can add curry to anything and it will taste amazing, lol. I definitely understand where you are coming from.

Yes, the heart from curry powder, thats it!

I love hot and spicy food. I guess pizza, burger or stuffs like that taste blunt without hot sauce. My father used to prepare spicy foods when we were young. He learned to cook hot and spicy foods when he came to Bicolandia. We know very well that Bicolandia is one of the places here that is fond of eating foods with chili. Remember Bicol Express? Wow...

I like curries mostly in Thai food, is that what you call spice, I think Indian food is a little too spicy for me, so anything that is not too hot for me.

I like spicy foods, but my tongue just can't tolerate them anymore. That's too bad because peppers are really good for your health. I sometimes take Cayenne in pill form during cold and flu season, but I've tried adding hot peppers to my food and find that my whole face gets red and my nose really starts to run. I know the pain only lasts a few minutes, but I just can't stand it anymore. I've found some stores that sell peppers that only have a little zing, but those aren't the ones that are really the best for you.

Yes, I heard it's a natural form of anti-biotic.

i was like you previously. when i was much younger, i'd cry if i ate from a plate of vegetables fried with just one piece of chili. as i grow up, i started to take chili sauce. it's not so much hot but sweet. as my taste buds adjust i am less sensitive to chili. however, all changed when i met my partner. he can't survive without chili. he introduced me to the wonderful world of hot and spicy food. now i'm almost like him, i can't survive long without chili.

in my hometown, we always eat hot and spicy food. even for children, they can eat those food when they are only one year old. and there are many friends like it around me. do you know "hot-pot"in china? it is very delicious. sometimes it is so hot and spicy that our tears come out, but we still would go on eating. hot and spicy food is good for our health, especially in winter.
