How much heat can you tolerate?

[Nalgasp3ludas]

I really want to know whats your heat tolerance.

Since I was a child Ive always eaten my meals with spice. I honestly cant eat food without it having a kick. Since Im mexican, and thats a fact, I always have salsa in my fridge. Which it consists of tomatoes, serrano peppers, onion, cilantro and salt. Others salsas I usually consume have: tomatillos, serranos, habaneros, onion, cilantro and salt. Ive had visits that cant tolerate that kind of heat, but for me, it aint even that spicy. I really would like to know your feelings about spiciness, and Im talking about heat.

Eating heat is a practice, the more you eat it more you can handle it. Take a brake for a couple of months and your tolerance goes down a lot.

 

I personally like it and have eaten morruga, carolina reapers, all sorts of local chilly`s but i try to keep it moderate because it ain`t so good for your intestines. 

[WhitetailAni]

Very low (I can do a bit, but not much and not for long) but my grandpa's tolerance is high.

It's a running joke that if he says something is mild steer clear, it'll burn your mouth off.

I can eat pretty spicy stuffs

the black korean spicy chikin noodles? used to feel like it's spicy, now i just eat it occasionally

the red one is the same

 

im glad my tongue is still sensitive to taste after all the spiciness, though

 

one thing i cant stand is drinking hot water after eating spicy tho, that kills

[shaz2sxy]

I like my food to have spice... not a fan of heat over taste though.

 

My son when he was smaller used to love really spicy food.

[Prodigy_Smit]

I have a fairly high heat tolerance. My dad on the other hand has extreme heat tolerence ( @FakeKGB I think my dad and your gramps would be good friends based on food atleast).

[mousesnob]

Samyang 2x spice is the hottest i can take

[aDoomGuy]

There's nothing like some heat. Big shame naga chilli (or Bhut Jolokia if you prefer) is pretty much impossible to get here but I'll always crave for more chicken vindaloo after my 4 months in England. Well, if I have to eat my tacos without Habanero or at least some Cayenne I'll cry lol.

Cant eat spicy foods. I used to like the Spicy Italian from Jimmy Johns. Id get it with light peppers. Every time after it had digested Id be on the toilet crying. Why? Because I would have Fire in the Hole, if you know what I mean. I work on the premises of if it burns on the way down, it burns on the way out. Remember the same tissues that are in your mouth, are also in your "exit" hole.

use a fork for it because I'm apparently too dumb to keep the chopsticks aligned.

You're not the only one. So don't feel bad.

If it doesn't burn my ass off the next day, its not spicy enough. Vindaloos are mild for me.

You need to watch that special on Netflix about the Carolina Reaper pepper competition.  One guy didn't even break a sweat.

 

It's part of the We Are the Champions doc...

heat tolerance

I use no or few spices.

I like to taste the flavors of the food I'm eating.

 

[trag1c]

I can handle heat and the ring of fire that comes later but what I can't handle is flavorless heat. Everything has to be balanced, you need enough strong flavors in a dish for it to be properly spiced where you get the burn but you also taste something. 

[BuckGup]

Everything I eat has some form of pepper of hot sauce on it. As a kid I didn't want peppers to burn my mouth as much so I ate a Jalapeno everyday for a couple months and now I can eat habaneros and ghost pepper based dishes. IMO spice is a key element in a good dish and is often overlooked 

[Murasaki]

I can appreciate some spicy food from time to time! Not sure what my tolerance is but I know if I've crossed the line when I can't taste anything but heat. Reminds me of some wasabi flavored peanuts I tried to eat... no taste just ekkusuprosion.

Black one feels like nothing to me but the red bag is pretty warm IMO.

I can pop habaneros raw but never tried anything hotter like Ghost Pepper or Carolina Reaper raw. Whenever I get Thai curry I always tell them to pretend I was Thai when I ask for it really spicy. One time the owner came to confirm my order and then had to see me eat it, she was scared I would send it back for being too hot.

 

These are my favorite chips: not too hot at first but heat creeps up a bit after eating a lot of them.

 

[Velcade]

I can tolerate 80°C for 30 minutes.

Man, that's insane. 

 

I used to do 0% spicy foods at all. Then something in my taste buds changed and now regularly do chicken with Franks hot sauce on it (not spicy by most people standards outside the US though)

 

I was actually helping build Rainbow 2020 when the now owner of that build order the group of friends we were with a lot of thai food. I was busy working on the cable management, so I was only half listening when he informed us about the peppers. Two hours later when I was eating the noodles and I thought "wow this is a pretty good spice level" and decided to eat one of those peppers thinking they were "just a normal red pepper"

 

Nope

 

Never again

Haha those Thai chiles are pretty warm. When I was a kid one of my closest friends was Thai and his mom had a ton of green Thai chiles sitting out since she grew them and I asked my friend how hot they were. He said pretty hot, but being a dumbass kid who loved jalapenos and thought those were hot I ate one of the green Thai chiles raw and felt like my mouth was on fire for 30 minutes. Now those are no big deal to me and I always eat them when they come in a plate but back when I first tried them, JFC those were murder.

I love spicy foods, if I'm not sweating while i eat from the spice then more is needed.

Also i have bowels of iron, because no matter how hot something is going in its never noticeable coming out always feels like a normal dump regardless of what i eat.

[12345678]

I don't (usually) like spicy food

I don't really feel hot, but some type of irritation 

usually because if they do have some type of arome or particular taste I might like em

like Cinnamon candies, they are fuckin good

while rapellis, fuckin gross, almost tasteless, they remembered like the smell of coins, with some chily in it

 

one time I bought some really hot chilly peper, the first time it was like a normal pepper (it might have been a normal peper), second time I thought that it was the same so I ate the whole peper, and fuckit, runned to find cheese
