There is a very interesting research and it says that the people who like spicy food are usually rich I don't really understand why. It seems if you can eat much more spicy food, you will be richer. Perhaps we shall pay attention to the rich people and see whether most of them enjoy spicy food

ha ha ha ha ha... another one of those silly funded research program?
And the reason why people who like spicy food are rich are? Is there any linkage to why spicy food lovers are rich?
I never really believed in this kinda studies. The sample they use is so small to begin with. So it is never a true reflection of society as a whole.
What I cannot understand is why people are approving funds, which could come from tax payers like you or me, to fund this kinda ridiculous studies. What purpose does it serve?

Maybe its really something to do with the personality of rich people, not exactly the spice in the food hehe. I think people who like spicy food are those who have a strong personality and its probably one of the qualifications that a person should have to become rich. My husband loves spicy food and he has a strong, dominant personality. Maybe someday we will also become rich... i hope that would be soon

HahahahaWhat a load of crap these things are. Please excuse my language. I am one who LOVES spicy food, may it be curry or even chili padi. In fact I just ate Pattaya rice yesterday with so much chili padi that I got a small ulcer in my mouth at that moment? Hmm, well, it didn't seem that I got any richer but only the bonus long overdue that Amway is suppose to pay me but the delay was due to some technical problems. And the bonus is RM1.50 short?! I've tried all morning to sort out this problem but it seems that the lines are all engaged all the time?

hello youless
i enjoy eating all of the spicy food that i can get my hands on. but sometimes the next day is a different thing in eating the spicy foods. lol there is this local mexican restaurant around here where that i live that me and my two boys love going to eat at and they serve the hottest relish as they call it that i have ever tasted. it has chopped up chunks of onions, carrots and also the hot peppers. i can eat a small bowl of that anytime when i get to go eat there and i even like hot peppers and pineapple chunks for a pizza topper. yum. now you have me wanting to set my mouth on fire with something spicy. and i also enjoy eating lots of salsa. well i guess that i will grab the bag of Doritos and the jar of salsa now.
take care and have a beautiful evening.

I had never heard that before, but it sounds good, because I love spicy food
The traditional food from my country (Denmark) is not spicy at all and I find it a little boring. That is one of the reasons why I love to eat food from other countries. Sometimes my friends tease me, because I like spicy food so much, I don't like to cook, but when I cook I usually make very spicy food. I once cooked a dish that was so spicy that I couldn't even eat it...

I don't think so. I like to eat spicy food but I am not rich, I can consider myself in the middle-inome community. Everybody has their own different tastes when it comes to food. Maybe you are right, we should watch the rich people if they like to eat spicy foods.

Hi youless! That is interesting but I am wondering how come I love spicy foods however, I am not rich. Aaaaah, maybe it is because I can not eat much more spicy food. lol.. I think I will try to eat much much more and see what happens.
Take care and have a great day!

Is it a fact or still a theory? I know many who loves spicy food, but they are not rich. Neither I would say that am rich. ...Those from the Arabian countries love spicy food then would that mean that most of them are rich?
I love hot foods - chili hot noodles, chili wings, and the like. I would put chili oil on my gravy and usually buy hot and spicy catsup. ....I just hope I really would become rich.

hi youless,
That is an interesting facts. But where did they based it.
In the Philippines you will lots of people digging on sauces with lots of chili. some of Pilipinos are fond of eating super spicy foods, but to be honest, not all of them are rich. It's just based on observations.
take care

i like spicy food and we indians will eat more spicy food ,and i know that there are some poor people in india who eats more spicy food. and but they are poor only now also.
so i think that this researched people are not from india ,may be any other country researchers i think. and they told about other country people.
or we should think that , that poor people can be rich soon.then there will be no poverty in any country.
