If you cook something for her, add a few drops or more of pic related.
See what her tolerance level is.

>>4639232
Put a ring on it, OP.
She's a fucking keeper.

One time when I was a child my mother took me to London and we ate at a very classy Indian restaurant, me being the little upstart that I was, asked the waiter for the spiciest/hottest meal on the menu.
When it arrived it came with a full jug of ice water, the waiter had this huge smug smirk on his face.

It was agony, I managed to eat about 1/4 of the meal, spent the rest of the time in the restaurant finishing the jug of water and moaning (as well as sweating profusely) whilst everyone else at the table enjoyed their meal.

The icing on the cake was when my older sister had to carry me back to our hotel from the restaurant because my stomach was burning and I felt like I was going to have explosive diarrhea each time I attempted to walk.

>>4639232
I used to do this when I was about 12.
Now I don't care and eat food for the enjoyment of the flavours and texture instead of trying to impress people.

This spicy food trend is horrendous, I pray for future generations.

>>4639285
Hey I can handle my spice. It didn't kill me and wasn't uncomfortable to eat. It was bordering on it though.

I asked the waiter and he said they just cooked it with jalepeno and a green chile paste. The spiciest thing I've done was put fresh habanero's in some of my sauces. That was pretty fucking spicy. I want to start growing my own ghost peppers though, I hear thats all the rage these days.

>goat

>buy picante chorizo, supposedly the spiciest
>slice and eat
>this isn't hot at all
>enjoy it anyway because cured meats are tasty

>>4639297
>picante chorizo, supposedly the spiciest
Picante or dulce only refers to the paprika used, being either smoky/spicy or sweet. Paprika. Not bird's eye or piri piri or ghost pepper. If you expected anus raping chili heat from "hot" paprika you're one dumb motherfucker.

I've got a story

>Go to my favorite Thai restaurant for my birthday
>This place has 4 levels of heat they add to their dishes, the highest being "Thai National" level on the 4th
>Often have gotten a "5 pepper", one above the hottest, and eaten without difficulty
>Decide that I'll test my limits, get a 6 pepper Panang curry, with a big Thai tea to wash it down
>It's like molten fucking lava
>Quickly begin shaking, sweating, and crying, but still manage to carry on conversation with friends and family
>Eventually not able to speak
>Have to have my parents ask the waiter to bring some water, Thai tea is long depleted
>By some intervention of providence I finish it
>Family worried, we go back to my parent's house for cake and coffee
>On the car ride home I start feeling better, though I still am shaking a bit and the dreaded heat hiccups come on

Overall, a fun night was had. But that's definitely the hottest thing I've ever put into my mouth, and was not enjoyable in the slightest. I've since returned to the 5 and 4 levels. They grow their own Bird's Eye chilis, so they must've put some particularly hot ones in that curry or something, because it was utterly dreadful heat.

>>4639296

Goat is delicious if cooked properly.

>>4639285

I've been eating spicy food my entire life, it's nothing new, just the proliferation of hipster hot sauces maybe. El Yucateco is my go-to sauce for tacos and shit.

>>4639302
Some of those thai places fool you. Say you want 4 pepper and they go back and laugh at your whiteness and give you 0 pepper. But when you challenge them they go all out and give you the squirts. Always gotta order off the menu level spicy.

I had jerk chicken from a food truck on campus once. It was really tasty, but holy fuck it was thr spiciest thing i have ever eaten. The jerk fries were damn good though.

>>4639302
how 2 make rice get that shape

I only really have problems with spicy food when I'm not prepared for it, like the 99% of bars that have SUPER EXTRA HOT SPICY WINGS! and most of them are just slightly hotter buffalo wings, then you get one that kicks you on your ass finally for the first bite.

I have zero tolerance for spicy food. I went to this Thai place once to get take out and never before did they ask me how spicy I wanted it. I just said medium because I was asked on the spot and didn't want to make an ordeal out of it. Stupid of me because it took me a few days to finish the meal, I even tried eating it cold and struggled through it.

Also when I was younger and used to eat fast food, the sauce on the cheesy gordita crunch from taco bell was too spicy for me. I don't even know why, I've gotten much better but I could never nor would I ever attempt to eat some of the things you guys have.

>>4639232

Anyone want to do a spice ranking? I've eaten tosses and ranked them in decending order

Thai
Northern Indian
Cajun
Jamaican
Brazilian
etc.

I love spicy food, the only thing I could never handle was this curry called the "Phall." Anyone tried it? I think it's fairly common at Indian places around here. It was just painful, I had a few bites which required 2 bottles of water, couldn't do anymore

>>4639304
B-but, I'm one of their most frequent and loyal c-customers...I even dated one of their waitresses...
Why would they abuse my trust ;_;

>>4639313
>I even dated one of their waitresses...

You fucked son.

I'm still puzzled by the fact that some people get "the shits" from eating spicy food.

Grew in Louisiana eating spicy food my whole life and never had an issue with it.

>>4639314
They were cool about it, though. Every time I came in they were smiling and like "Oooohhh here comes lover boy" and asked me how everything was going and sometimes she would take her lunch break with me there and they would serve us this really nice lunch and talk with us and stuff. The relationship ended amiably too, she was going to Thailand for like 4 months to visit her grandmother (she was born in the US tho so it wasn't like I was dating native Thai girl), and the semester was about to start so we just decided to break it off for a while. We're still good friends, and still go to that Thai place at least twice a week.

Can't say I've ever had anything so egregiously spicy that I couldn't handle and enjoy (just take my time with the more anus-scorching dishes), but I frequently get the hiccups at even the first bite of lots of things. Typically anything around the level of a habenaro, but sometimes even with shit like raw jalapenos. Annoying and kinda makes me look like a bitch if I'm among company.

>>4639307
Put in bowl. Flip bowl.

>>4639317
Clearly your sphincter is calloused from years of abuse, you lucky dog.

>>4639317
I feel the same way. My dad taught me to like spicy food while I was growing up and I have honestly never gotten diarrhea or anything from even the spiciest of foods. I guess we just have a higher tolerance, m8.

>>4639311

I havent had enough places spicy cuisines but:

1. Arab/Halal (dat harissa)
2. Indian
3. Indonesian
4. Thai
5. Korean
6. Mexican
7. Schezuan Chinese

Never had real Cajun, Carribean or South American. Also never had any of the ones I've listed in their home countries. Have had immigrant home cooking from 3, 5 and 6 though.

I'm Irish, but my family is largely British.

As you can imagine, we're fond of curry. The Irish are generally completely unable to process curry.

I went out with my pals to an Indian place, they all ordered Tikka, and half of them complained that it was too hot and didn't eat it.

I stuffed a vindaloo down my throat and nearly ordered a second round it was that fucking good.

My aunt thought Rotel dip was too spicy to eat, and gave me the strangest of looks when I was eating it, like she couldn't process how a human being would be able to handle it, like I was licking the sun...
It's Rotel Dip, Aunt Bev...

>>4639324
Also Thai and Indo should be on the same level, they both use the same peppers pretty much.

>fair is in town
>look around the stands
>"Oh look, there's a currywurst booth"
>it's got 5 levels of hotness
>order level 3
>really tasty, not too hot, just a nice tingling on my tongue
>next day, go there again
>"Yeah, I'd like a level 5."
>-"You are aware that it's 1,000,000 scoville?"
>"Uh, alright."
>no idea how many scoville level 3 was, nothing to compare it to
>have the epiphany to go to a more secluded area

>hiccups start
>lips and tongue feel like acid is being poured on
>eyes start watering up
>my body forbids me from swallowing this little piece of sausage
>spit it back onto my paper plate
>spit is now even less viscuous than water

Good Lord this was horrible. Why are people doing this. Who could possibly eat that and, the even better question, who could possibly enjoy eating that?

>Love spicy food
>Suddenly I shit burning charcoils out my butt everytime I eat something even slightly spicy

What happend? I used to be able to stomach stuff like that awful "The bomb" sauce

>>4639327
God why am I laughing so hard

Does drinking milk help alleviate the spicy shits?

>>4639309
People like you shouldn't be allowed to live.

I've got a friend who can't take spicy food at all. He ate a popeyes chicken drumstick, that was spicy instead of original, and passed out later. No joke.

I was at a wing place with some friends, and ordered the spiciest sauce. I told my friend to try it, and he was afraid.
He later tried a small taste, then got mad at me for like 30 minutes.

my dad's neighbour made this crushed stewed tomato stuff that she gifted to people occasionally. However she stewed it with whole habanero's that she then put into the jar alongside the stewed tomato's. my dad thought it was a bell pepper and made a stew with it, and it was so fucking spicy my lower jaw went completely numb. I went to get seconds and my dad dumped the rest of the pot because he thought it was so spicy it was going to physically hurt someone.

>>4639309

>>4639361

your body isn't digesting it properly; The spice is meant to keep animals from eating the peppers, so your body can end up rejecting the spicy food causing diahrea or in milder cases the burning shits.

>>4639309

the spicy sauce in the gordita and their quesadilla's is a mixture of their cheese sauce and their border sauce, most likely mild. Good shit, I make it when I order fries supreme.

>>4639232
I know that feel OP. Fuck people from the Caribbean, especially Trinidad. This devil is from that fucking country and good got it was molten lava.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinidad_Moruga_Scorpion

I'm a white fuccboi who's, in the grand scheme of things, a bitch with spicy food. I can use a healthy amount of sriracha on shit like rice, eggs, and mac and cheese, but that's about it. (And I know it's not all that spicy, anyway)

My roommate in college was this awesome Indian chick. Smokin' hot. And she could eat just about anything you put in front of her without batting an eyelash. I've seen here down some seriously hot curry that burned just looking at it.

Her shits were dank though. She pretty much just ate some variety of curry for lunch and dinner every day. We're talking shits that clear the apartment on a bad day.

Korean is too low imo. Worst meal ive ever eaten was Spicy Fried Chicken from a Korean Restaurant. What made it so fucked was the sugar stickyness of the sauce coated and remained stuck to your mouth.

>>4639445

Well, to be fair, most would say there's not much worse than British food to begin with.

>>4639446
Yeah, its a shame that the a massive chunk most famous chefs on earth come from Britain.

>Not liking Toad in the hole

My dad did catering too.

He knows how to make most of the traditional stuff, such as Fucking Relishes and pickle, sweet jesus are they amazing in sandwiches.

But in terms of full blown meals, he's more of a Fast food worker, making a mess everywhere and making the shoddiest excuse for food you can imagine.

He also does Cornish pasties, but Fuck if they aren't dry.

The problem is, there's no absolute scale for spiciness. Unless you count the scoville scale, but good lock getting a restaurant to make your dish to 6500 scovilles.

I usually order medium when I'm at a thai restaurant, because I know thai food can be fucking spicy, and I would prefer to be able to eat it and enjoy it, rather than choke it down and sweat out a litre of water.

Problem is, I'm white, so I get served "white medium" instead of "thai medium", which barely even registers.

On the other hand, if I order hot, they probably think I'm trying to be a big man, and want to put me back in my place, so they give me "thai hot", which is anus destroying.

>>4639464

>>4639471

I love British food, and love going over there, my post said 'most would say.'

>>4639484

Just that there are famous chefs from England, which is somewhat unrelated to begin with, doesn't mean that it doesn't have a reputation for not having a particularly strong culinary tradition. Read my post, no need to get so defensive.

Gordy's the shit and I ate at the London in NYC, was p good.

You should try going to a thai restaurant where they aren't so lackadaisical about the casual racial stereotyping then.

No there are not. If there are it cannot be called chorizo.

>>4639595

>>4639603
Paprika

>>4639607
Do you know not where paprika comes from or something?

>>4639589
I thought traditionally, the kind dude is eating doesn't? I didn't realize Spanish chorizo contained peppers directly. I'm Mexican, so we do but our type is quite different. I am learned a thing today.

>>4639607
Paprika is made out of dried ground peppers.

>>4639603
Its pork you moron, the fattiest of the staple meats.

>>4639605

I though that was a thing only dogs had to deal with.

>>4639614
You missed a keyword there, bud.

>RED grease
Pork fat is not naturally red/orange.

>>4639609
>>4639613
I am fully aware.

Smoked, powdered pepper != fresh peppers, which I think was the guy's point. You wouldn't say mixing onion powder in a dish is the same as putting onions in, now would you?

>>4639605
lol

>>4639578
Trini girls are so hot. And I love Trini food too. I lust after the Black/Indian ones all day everyday on the metro.

>>4639624
>You wouldn't say mixing onion powder in a dish is the same as putting onions in, now would you?

No, they're not the same thing. But IMHO the dish still "contains onion" regardless of if that's onion powder or fresh onion.

>>4639634
Paprika is a different product. Onion powder is fucking onions without water.

>>4639655
My point was that powdered shit is not the same as the fruit. Paprika is literally powdered peppers. Holy tits.

>>4639673

Paprika is literally powdered paprika, for fucks sake, get it together, Anglo-Saxons.

>>4639622

The red color comes from the fucking paprika in the pork fat. It's really not hard to grasp.

>>4639680

>>4639676
It doesn't work that way in English you stupid cunt.
Paprika may mean the pepper in your filthy barbaric language but in English it refers only to the powdered pepper product.

Why is everyone getting so heated about paprika all of a sudden?

>>4639565

>reading comprehension

I never grew up on spicy food, but looking at my pale skin and ginger hair, you would never guess I would have any tolerance for it, and I would not either.
However, four years ago, I was an exchange student in Northeast Thailand, and I found out I LOVED spicy food.

Pretty much ordering in Thailand went like this:
>Friends and I go out to eat
>Let's get somtam!
>I want it super spicy.
>Waiter looks at me and giggles, sometimes they would make it ridiculously spicy, wanting to watch me squirm.
>Have an easier time eating it than my Thai friends.

I wish I could get somtam in America that did not suck. Even food court somtam in Thailand was fucking awesome.

>>4639694

I downed the rest of it but it was fucking brutal. Moral of the story: watch how many peppers you grab before adding them to a dish.

>>4639694
Mah nigga.

>>4639655
im not even the other guy

>>4639719
I can usually take them alright but I must've taken too many. But I know you probably put trinidad scorpions in every orifice daily, I can't compare to that.

>>4639719
Pho absorbs flavours really well,so anything you put in it enhances it a fuckton.

>>4639709
On top of that the pho was pretty shitty. It was just msg and 50x amplified jalepeno spice.

My biggest problem as a white guy is that whenever I go to a foreign restaurant they assume I dont want anything spicy.

Like I was dating this korean girl and we both order some food, I ordered the spicy version(this was at a korean restaurant). Waiter takes the order and the busboy brings the food out and puts the spicy shit infront of her.

Same thing happened with a carribean chick at a roti place.

>>4639772
Yea its called White Boy Syndrome.

It happens at all foreign restaurants. If you are not extremely explicit in how spicy you want your dish, you will be served something next to mild. This is probably because they have had white people come around in the past and order something "indian spicy" or whatever nationality, and expected "white boy spicy" and probably gagged on it and sent it back.

>>4639665
Not >>4639659 , but they are indeed a lot hotter than I expected from a discounter-bought pizza. Not as much as putting birds eye chilis in your food, but pretty sweat inducing.

Bought them once because I like spicy food and the spice hit me totally unexpected.

But try for yourself. They are pretty good for just shitty frozen pizzas.

Dude Arabs like their spices but Arab food is generally not that spicy. Harissa is just hot because serrano peppers, which all these other civilizations, particularly Mexicans, have access to and often put to much better use. I can't think of a single dish Arab dish where spicy is obligatory, harissa is just a topping for sandwiches.

Compare that to Indians or Cajuns or Jamaicans who refuse to eat anything that doesn't leave you with liquid nitrogen diarrhea. I once got pepper beef from a very authentic Chinese place and it was literally just a pile of beef covered in dozens of thai chiles, chile seeds, cooked in an oil made from the chiles.

Also, "halal food" is a misnomer pretty much any food that isn't beer and bacon is halal food. Muslims like to advertise it in their store windows to draw in other Muslims.

I do not understand the appeal of this shitty sauce. It makes your wings taste like fucking pennies.

I was in Nigeria and went to a relatively upmarket restaurant that is mainly for the employees of my company. There was a chef from California who was really into the local cuisine and urged me to try some. It was a stew made from green cabbage and various spices with some cow skin in it (very chewy but good). Anyhow it was the spiciest thing I have ever allowed to pass my lips. I had a huge dumpling to attempt to quench the heat but it was not nearly enough and I had to go to the line to get another drink twice (the chef was there so it was a walk of shame to get a large water each time). I only had maybe 8 spoonfuls of the stuff but it felt like an anchor in my stomach.
TL;DR: Don't fuck with Africans.

>>4639896
Its hot and makes you shit

>>4639896

Medium is where its at. Just enough bite to be noticeable, but not so hot that it overwhelms the taste of the wings and sauce.

>>4639888
This was 2 years ago, kike.

I have no tolerance for spicy. Zero-spice Thai food gives me nausea, stomach cramps, and fiery shits. I tried some level 3 stuff and it came right back up after about 5 minutes of stomach anguish.

It may or may not have to do with me being a certified Supertaster but I haven't done any research on spicy food. But I also can't stand very bitter food or chocolate either. I gag on high percentage cacao. And that's pretty common among us.

I've heard this happens a lot in America, especially people ordering the 'spiciest thing available' on dates to look hard so restaurants give out the weakest food imaginable to stop people suing from what they asked for.
Makes me sad that people can't appreciate good spice. Glorious food, ruins it for us others who like hot foods.

>>4639959
I'm not a food snob. I don't make money off of it. I just got checked and verified for it when I got taken to the doctor as a kid because my mom thought I might have a food allergy because of how I reacted to some foods.

There's a Thai place in my area that doesn't fuck around. They don't give a shit how white you are, they make authentically spiced Thai food. You can still choose your heat level, from 1-5, but prepare your anus, because it's going to be as hot as you actually ask for.
>First time eating there
>Order green curry and thai iced tea
>waiter asks what spice level, 1 - 5
>I order level 4, which I figure is going to be not as spicy as it sounds, since most places white-down their food.
>Bitch is BLAZING hot. My eyes water, my mouth and lips go numb, my nose is running, but I'm loving it.
>Finish the whole bowl, waiter comes over and laughs and says "you did a good job, I didn't think you'd finish it!"
>Gives me another thai iced tea for free (I think he was surprised a white female could eat something that hot, lol.)

It's definitely become a trend among some food hipsters to just make/eat the spiciest thing they possibly can, regardless of actual taste.

>>4640111
that's just YAM stupidity (and some manchildren)
nothing new there

>>4640111
One thing I've noticed, actually, is that all chili varieties that are grown outside of America have seemingly no concern as to the actual taste of the fruit, only the spiciness. With Mexican chilies you get fresh fruity ones, rich ones, nutty ones, smoky ones, ones with undertones of chocolate and citrus and tropical fruit and coffee and whatever else, and of course mild chilies and hot chilies and everything inbetween. But everywhere else, it's only the spiciness that matters, no other country has anything like an ancho or a chipotle, it's all just MUH SCOVILLES.

Am I the only one who's noticed this and can't help but feel that the other places which have co-opted chilies into their diet are somewhat missing the point?

i can only tolerate jalepenos (barely)
>feelsbadman.jpg

can anyone give me some advice to build up my tolerance so i can enjoy the cuisines of the world?

My nose gets really runny when I eat spicy stuff, even if I'm otherwise fine with it. Is that normal or is that just me?

>>4639882
Harissa is generally made with African Bird's Eye, which is generally hotter (up to 2.5x as hot as thai birds eye) and serrano. So around the level of habanero and scotch bonnet. Not much of a slacker there.

Also the harissa they serve at the halal carts at 53rd and 6th is definitely spicier than most sauces I've had, if you've been around nyc.

>>4640122
there are some nice sweet peppers out of Africa and Spain, actually. Piquillo peppers are becoming widely available, west African peppers not so much, but you can find them with a little searching. Neither of those has any heat, though. I wonder if you have a point in that, but that it seems to be an embracing or rejection of the heat.

I like very spicy foods, parent can't handle it at all though. Every time we eat Mexican food they comment on how spicy the salsa is. It's never spicy though, tastes like v8 juice. Actually anytime they taste almost anything they say its spicy. Always mild as fuck. One time I let my mom taste some chili I made that actually had a moderately high heat level and I thought it was going to kill her. I don't even think I used habaneros, maybe one. Mosty just serrano and jalapeno.

>>4639232

>>4640137
That happens to me also.

>>4639372

There was nothing in your post that resembled anything close to a coherent thought, let alone an amusing story. Also it's pretty fucking obvious that you're underage.

>>4639882
So true. There's a Chinese place downtown that has two menus - English and moon runes. Ordering off the later menu is delicious but fuck me, it's basically just oil, chili bits, and some kind of mystery organ.

>tfw I use really hot sauce to keep roommates/parents from eating my food

>go to HuHot for first time
>use the "Five Village Fire Szechuan", 4/5 flames
>mfw no burn at all

>>4640126

It's all just practice. Just gotta eat more spicy foods and slowly start ramping up the intensity.

>>4640122
It might be because spice is fairly neutral and if you wanted to flavor a dish to make it nuttier or whatever you don't need to worry about the flavor of your pepper interfering.

I'm known as the guy that can't handle spicy food and my friends and family never fail to bring it up whenever the opportunity arises.

First thing I used my driver's license as ID for was to eat ghost pepper ice cream, which you had to be 18 and sign a waiver to try
(the ice cream was alright, just tasted like vanilla with a kick to it- making a cold, creamy food spicy is kind of counter productive, it wasn't as spicy as I expected)

>>4639324
sichuan is a completely different type of spicy. also, you probably haven't had it that hot if you're spelling it like that. If you want spicy for Chinese in the non numbing way, eat hunan cuisine

Fuck off, any NYCbro will vouch for me. The red sauce at halal carts is spicy as all hell, especially from the Halal Guys at 53rd and 6th.

>>4639323

>>4639882

Arab food CAN be spicy. Besides a few dishes there is no single Arab cuisine, so it will depend on which specific Arab cuisine you are discussing.

>>4640437
it's as hot as you make it.
I made some with "cherry bomb hot chili peppers", you could make it with hotter.

>indian neighbors have small garden

I was at this mexican plac having these heavy ass burrito, and the owner of the place is making my shit asks if I want the hot stuff on it and I'm all yeah man bring it on, so he puts a single spoonful on it and asks if i'm sure I want to do this and I'm all hell yeah man, then he gets to ask if i want sour cream to make the heat milder, and I'm all, nah bro.

And then he puts it on there.

Says its in my best intrest.

Fuck people.

Cunt, I grew up with this shit (and much hotter than theirs too). The only time I've ever been asked if "I'm sure" was at that shop, and I'm Israeli.

Makes no sense.

>>4639355

>>4639775
>>4639967
You want to get get good spicy food in a white boy environment? Piss off the cooks a bit. Seriously. I've gone to many Thai places, ordered the spiciest food, then proceeded to brag about how I can handle it. Chefs give you that "You're gonna be sorry" look when cooking and deliver some inferno-level food just the way I like it.

>>4640046
>the waiter had this huge smug smirk on his face.

>>4639294
Try growing "Gypsy Sweet Peppers" we bought a small one from the local plant store here at spring and the thing grows huge ass peppers. My mom put ONE pepper, that wasn't even completely yellow yet, in her chile verde and it was so damn spicy I was literally crying and had to pause every couple of bites to blow my nose to prevent snot from dripping onto the plate.

>>4639386
>fuckboy

>>4639364
Yes, the stuff that makes spicy food burn is usually an oil based substance. Milk washes it down, while water or other similar drinks just spread it around. Think of black oil floating on the surface of water and you'll understand.

I like a good amount of spice but when it gets to the point where you can't taste your food over the heat I question why you would do it.

>>4639605
That is a CGI bird you dumb fuck.

>>4639772
>>4639967

Must be annoying but you can't blame them too much.

I'm Guatemalan and was dating an Indian girl, we both have extremely high spice tolerance... but we went out a lot with two of our white friends who were dating.

We've been to restaurants where the white girl would take one bite of food and push it away and start whining because it was "too hot."

So now this four table mom and pop Mexican place has to throw out your food and remake it because you got some pickled jalapeno juice in your mouth. God that was embarrassing.

I fucking hate assholes like you. I had to live with my sister for a couple years as a live in nanny for her two screaming brats.

I would always cook dinner for her and her asshole boyfriend. But she never gave a shit and would just get drunk as soon as she came home.

The few rare times she was sober enough to actually cook a real meal for the us and her own kids she would make it spicy as hell because she knows I hate spicy food so she and her asshole BF could sit there and eat it all while I was stuck with top ramen and mac and cheese for the kids.

Fuck you assholes.

I brought home vietnamese sandwiches for my family a few months ago. My mother (white, jewish) took a few bites and started crying. Also my father grew up poor and his mother would make bland cheap food like potatoes and sausage. When he moved to America and tried Mexican food for the first time, he threw up. So yeah, most white people cannot into spicy foods.

>>4640684

>most white people cannot into spicy foods because my two parents couldn't

are there really people this stupid, or are you a troll?

KFC Zingers meals give me atomic dirraohea

Yet i'm eating raw kimchi rn and have never had a problem with it

( ._.)

I've eaten spicy food for most of my life but not anything extremely spicy. One day I decided to test myself and I was hungry for some wings. I go to wingstop and I'm feeling ballsy. I order 5 cajun and 5 atomic and a large drink. I get my shit and go home.

Never before have I completely finished a drink while eating. I chugged a large drink and a mountain dew to try and cool myself down. The cajun were delicious, the atomic tasted like they were cooked with radiation and remnants of Chernobyl. I was fucking sweating and I felt like I was going to pass out.

>tldr i'm a faggot who got his cherry popped and asshole decimated by wings

>>4640773

I order them every time I got to Wingstop.

>>4640692

This indian place I used to go to always asked me how hot I wanted my curry. I'd say hot and they'd go "madras hot" and I'd say yes and it was just the way I like it. I can also do the next heat up but I prefer to actually taste my food rather than just be assaulted by heat. My question is, how hot do you reckon madras hot is?

>>4640437
the food arabs normally eat is not all that spicy-hot

Spicy food is like alcohol in that almost no one consumes it for the taste.

>>4640649

>implying I wasn't making fun of that Tumblr pic

I love chilli sauces, but only sauce like Nandos sauce, Blairs hot sauces, Crazy Wing chilli etc. I'm not really a fan of curry. I'm not really a chilli expert and was never exposed to it until recently. So can anyone tell me why I can eat chilli pepper sauces but not curries like Thai curries and shit?

>>4639605

eat whole peppers for 5 years straight. hot peppers. start with jalapeno, then move up to habenero, then ghost chili. none of these peppers even phase me. i've been chomping down spicy food since i was a child. i would go to thai restaurants and tell them to make it as spicy as possible every weekend.

Spicy food is shit and I've never seen the appeal. I don't want to feel pain every time I take a bite of some food. From the sounds of it most spicyfags are either masochists or pants on head retarded.

that's incorrect. "halal" doesn't refer only to the type of meat, there are rules about how the animal must be slaughtered in order for the meat to be halal.

what's your favorite place to go get some fast food?

I remember that contest they had in Macdonald's Germany to create the next big sandwich, and /b/ tried to rig it

Also have u ever been to murka? How does the burger compare?

>>4641090

Subway and Burger King (their Chilli Cheese Burger, Whopper, Big King are just so good) are my favourite places.

McDonald's does that once a year or so, some people "win", you can buy their overpriced burgers and that's it. They don't get into the regular menu.

I have been to America once, best fast food burger was at Wendy's, worst at White Castle (fuck White Castle), best overall burger was at TGI Fridays. And man, that burger. That Jack Daniels sauce burger or whatever it's called. I can't remember when I've eaten such a good burger before.
Maybe at an American restaurant here in Germany, but that went out of business.

>>4641098

Forgot to mention, Taco Bell was the best overall fast food. Don't know why so many people speak badly about it, 5$ for 1 taco, 1 regular burrito, 1 of those fancy ones with steak and a large soda. You're stuffed for the day and I didn't have any stomach aches or anything.

>>4641107
I'd so dine with your nigerian housemates. When I make chips, I coat them with about 2tbsp flour, 1tbsp cayenne (table, not tea), and pinches salt and pepper. Good stuff.

>>4641129
I can't stand Taco Bell because that burrito you speak of is in a soggy tortilla filled with tasteless paste. Their taco is in a similarly soggy "hard" shell and usually overflowing with nasty limp shredded lettuce and week-old chunks of disgusting tomato - even if you get the taco without these, the cheese is still reminiscent of candle wax, and the beef is over-cooked and under-seasoned.

The only thing I can ever stand to get from that place is a cheesy gordita crunch, because it's the most polished of the turds they sell. Thank the gods their sauces are awesome.

.go to my shitty small wyoming towns Thai restaurant.
>The town is shitty but the restaurant is good if that wasn't already clear.

That shit was delicious though. I could probably handle it now but I can't remember what it was called.

>>4639321
Lol and you then bring other girls to eat there

>>4641139

Oh, I really liked the soft shells/tortillas. It really was the best fast food, especially for that price.
Then again, this was the first time I've eaten anything even remotely resembling Mexican food (don't worry, I know it's not "authentic").

>>4641004
I've just been building up my tolerance slowly since I was little. Tobasco on eggs when I was young and grew it from there. Now I can down mid-level spicy peppers like serranos and jalepenos without being in any pain. Once you can tolerate levels of spice you can taste the real flavor of a certain dish without the spice overcoming it. Serranos have an excellent flavor in my opinion and the only reason I know that is because I can tolerate them.
Fuck you.

That day I realised there was a whole 'nother level to spicy foods that I had not even come close to in the past.
The only other thing I could compare it with would be a whole ghost pepper, habaneros don't even come close.

>>4641212

Yes, believe that is the suggestion.

>>4639547
What the fuck was this shit?

>>4639981
This.
I loved the Thai place near my old house in New York. They had a HUGE warning on the front of the menu, and repeated it at the bottom of every page: "We will make your food as spicy as you ask, and we WILL NOT accept food back if you overestimated yourself!"

I personally like only a little bite, so I never ventured above 3, but my spice-hound friend ordered a 5 (authentic Thai level apparently) and struggled a bit to get it down.

Love places that stand by their warnings like that.

Years ago, whilst hanging out doing nothing in particular and being really bored, a friend proposed a chili eating contest - whole Thai birdseye's, if I recall. I tapped out after about three or four, while my friend kept snacking on them.

>>4640773
Damnit, this makes me wish they had a Wingstop in my university's city. I'd sometimes order the Atomic, but mainly the Cajun. Also their lemon pepper wings are some sort of amazing.

In regards to spicy foods, I love them. I have family roots in Louisiana so Christmas was spent at my grandma's house in Shreveport eating her gumbo and all sorts of good Cajun/Creole cooking. I really enjoy your typical spicy foods, like Thai, Korean, Indian, etc..

I can't handle greater than thai medium properly. I think that at a level beyond that, I can't taste the food anymore.

I feel like I'm dodging landmines whenever I visit my folks and my mom has made Laap (minced meat salad - my parents are from Laos); aside of the tripe which for some reason, I can never get used to, there's always that chance that I'll accidentally bite into a Thai (bird's eye) chili pepper and I don't want to eat anymore.

>>4642349
Bullshit, they use scotch bonnets, which are on par with habaneros, sometimes hotter. Sorry mate, you must've been cheated.

its not so hot but to my western tastes it just feels so unneeded and uncomplemented. There's a difference between a spicy meal and putting fucking ghost peppers and whatnot in everything you have.

Adding that chef also kept some of that hot sauce around for them so he could put it on their wings and various dishes from then on. It blew my mind how anyone could eat more than one bite of a wing without needing their stomach pumped. That shit was like chlorine gas, and watching them just sit there and scarf it down with rice while doing their homework was unreal.

Both my parents are from Sichuan (Chongqing, to be precise) and I grew up eating not only spicy, but Ma La food as well. A lot of people can take the heat, but few react kindly to their first taste of Sichuan Peppercorn and its numbness, and only a select few actually enjoy Ma La on their first try. One of my friends panicked and almost cried when I accidentally cooked a meal with ground Sichuan peppercorn instead of black pepper.

wasabi doesnt burn the tongue like chili does son. It burns the sinus and nasal passages

>>4643437

I've never gotten the sinus burn from real wasabi. Just the green horseradish stuff. Maybe if you stuff a whole bunch in your mouth at once but somehow I doubt it.

How exactly does getting used to spiciness work? Is getting "used to it" just from the spiciness killing your spicy taste buds from long term exposure to it?

>>4639303
I want to eat that.

>>4643451

Depends on what you mean. Mild spiciness is just getting used to it. I didn't grow up eating spicy food at home but I don't recall having trouble with it when I started eating out more as a teen, so "getting used to it" might not actually be a thing if you have a problem to begin with.

Extreme spiciness is about training your brain to respond correctly (endorphin rush). That's what "chili heads" get excited about. At that point it's not really about food anymore since you're not tasting anything but burning.

>>4642429
Mate, I'm pretty sure my Jamaican family are using scotch bonnet peppers. I've just grown up with Jerk so it's not that hot?

When i first got with my girlfriend we went to a Szechuan style hot pot restaurant. Basically she comes from Shenzhen in China and loves her spicy food.

They had a coupe of different levels of spicy to work from so they choose level 2 and fuck me it was hot.

These days i'm much better with the spicy stuff, but come 10am the next day i was shitting the worst kind of fire, it felt like the whole ordeal all over again - except coming out the ass.

Funnily enough the first few times i really got into spicy food my body temperature would sky rocket, these days i don't get that little joy.

Spice level is off the chain once they get to know you.

I've noticed that my Mexican friends' families are always super cautious when they serve me stuff (I'm Caribbean) they feel is spicy. Hell, even when I'm using Tapatio, they're like "Cuidado, eso es muy, muy picante". And I appreciate their concern, but there is far, far worse stuff out there than what you could find in most Mexican cuisine. Latin spiciness is added for flavor. Asian spiciness is added to make you suffer.

I've had Bhut Jolokia sauce before. Once you've had that, everything else is pretty pedestrian.

There is no way anything exists the way you describe it. Does everyone at your school find toothpaste to be hot as well?

>Somebody who can't handle a little spice calling someone else a faggot

I bet you don't drink beer because it's to bitter.

My dad and I both love spicy food in general. I can handle spicier stuff than he can, yet he's always trying to show me up and it gets annoying.

We'll go to a new restaurant, and he'll immediately ask for the spiciest dish, extra extra extra spicy. I always facepalm because as much as I like spicy food, I'd want to see what the level of heat is normally when it's something I've never eaten before.

Of course with places we've been to enough times to know how spicy the food is (there's one general asian -- japanese/thai/vietnamese/chinese -- place we go to relatively regularly where the hostess actually remembers us by name and what we like) we have a system, which basically is "Tell the chef to make it too spicy for him/her, then make it five times spicier".

Personally, I feel the perfect spice level is when you can still taste the flavors of the food, but it's just enough to approach runny-nose-level, clear out your sinuses and all that.

sounds more like you punished yourself.

Seriously You people don't know spice, Indian food ain't shit

My sister lived in Thailand for two years, she can eat anything no matter how spicy.

No self respecting woman or person uses the word "poon". Pretty sure you can't get a yeast infection from hot sauce either, "hon".

>>4641051
I used to do this to friends, either sneak hot sauce in or convince them it was a great idea. Nobody ever bitched out like that on me, get back to lebbit.

Why do people with German Shepherds always call them GSDs? What's the D for? Dog? People with Akitas don't call them Akita Dogs.

>>4646463
How do you get spices living in a caje?

I was at someone's BBQ one time, and they had a ghost chili plant. Never really eaten chili before in my life because it keeps me awake later on, but I got dared to eat one of the chili peppers off the bush, so I was like, okay. I picked it off one of the red ones (washed it because germs) and ate it. At first I was like: this isn't so bad. And then I was like: oh God my mouth.

They had no milk, but they had plenty of lemonade, so I drank about 11 glasses to try and get rid of the burning, and spent the rest of the BBQ feeling sort of nauseous. Then I couldn't sleep that night because chili keeps me awake.

>>4639665
I've bought two.

First one wasn't hot at all. The second one was agony. I think they randomly spray pure capsaicin on the product line and hope it hits something.

>>4646751
>keeps me awake

You're garbage

>>4646627
I'll field that.

They are actually technically called German Shepherd Dogs in most kennel clubs, hence GSDs. Akitas, or at least the Japanese variety, are actually called the Akita Inu, and guess what? "Inu" means "dog". Same with Shibas. Shiba Inu is the correct term. Literally, Shiba-Dog. Akita-Dog. German Shepherd Dog. The D does stand for Dog.

It just numbs your mouth. It's not *hot*, or even all that spicy. It's used to set the ground for other spices that are hot, though, because of the numbing effect.

It's a term made up by Indian restaurants in Britain. I.E: Not hot at all.

I ground Sichuan Peppercorn to some salads. I bought some, didn't know what to use it for and didn't bother to google. It's pretty great.

It keeps people awake because it releases endorphins.

Apparently she used to eat mexican candy as a kid that was just a spicy gummy candy and that's normal.

I loved the way she made eggs though. She'd scramble them with a little pepper, onion, tomato and just whatever meat or something (tortillas chips, sausage, potatoes usually, beef jerky weirdly but good).

She didn't care for cooking though she was good at it. She said it was because she got tired of cooking for her brothers at home all the time.

Most mexican candy is just sweet shit coated with chili powder. I don't think it's very hot, but it is disgusting.
