    I used to frequent a Szechuan noodle place. Those fucking noodles would melt my face off and give me lava shits 45 minutes later, but I couldn’t stay away.

    I fucking love spicy food and I loved seeing people suffer with the food I would make them eat. Meanwhile I was fine watching them suffer as I ate my food. Anyway I’m lonely now and will probably never experience this sort of social interaction ever again.

      If I’m getting spicy food I always say ‘white people spicy’. It always gets a good laugh and I usually get my food just right.

        I ask for really hot, they look at my white skin and doubt me, then my indian friend has to vouch for me and say “No, he does actually want it hot” then they are like ah OK

      I eat everyday it’s not that spicy.

      Edit - I said this in a sarcastic way. I know it’s spicy.

      You can’t beat a good arabiata

      Several hours ago I misread your comment as Italian, and I was very confused but played along.

      My favourite Indian curry is a jalfrezi

      There’s an Indian place near me that does these things called devil potatoes and they’re amazingly spicy. I love them.

    I grew up in somewhat of a food desert, coupled with an undiagnosed lactose intolerance, I avoided a lot of foods, including anything “spicy”. When I grew up, went to a gastro doc, I changed my diet and now I can’t not have spicy foods. I’m talking about dousing everything I eat in cayenne, habanero sauce, ghost pepper dip, everything. Why? I feel like you enjoy food for longer if you have to take a bit to get through the spice.

      Look for Chinese restaurants where the Chinese go eat.

      Most regions in China eat very spicy, just ask the waiter for something extra spicy like the Chinese eat it and they’ll give you something amazing.

      Where do you live in Germany? Maybe I can recommend something.

        My life changed much for the better when I was able to find the local Chinese place that the local Chinese people eat at and the local Indian place that the local Indian people eat at. Changed everything.

        When it comes to japanese food, Düsseldorf is really great. Cause i studied there i know some good Restaurants and supermarkets 😆 but i take recomondations all around nrw.

        i really want to taste spicy indian food or try other asian food, that is not so common here 🤔

        My best friend visited south korea a few years ago. She never liked spicy food, but said it was so good there, she now likes this stuff.

        I recently had “very spicy” Chinese food. On scale of 1-10 it was 6 at best. ( I am Indian). If you are looking for 9 or higher look for Hyderabadi or Andhra Indian food.

            Lol. You totally can. For me I like spice but also the subtle parts of curry flavour. like mint and cinnamon are spicey too in different ways, add those in with chillies and ginger and it gives you a well rounded Spice that isn’t just burn the mouth hot

    One time I went to an Indian restaurant with my boss (from south India) and a Mexican coworker. I ordered my food mild, my boss ordered his medium, and the Mexican guy ordered his hot. My boss tried to warn him but he insisted that he could handle spicy food.

    The food came out, the Mexican guy had no problem eating his, and he started gloating. Then my boss told him that he was actually eating my boss’s medium food. After they switched plates, the Mexican guy turned red, started sweating, and had to ask my boss to switch back.

    (My boss had no problem eating the hot food; he just preferred the taste of medium.)

        Yeah that’s true. If I wanted to drown in only tasting the spice, I’d eat a few peppers or something. Spice is good, but so is flavour.

      I took a mate out to an Indian place I regularly eat at and we had a few pints before. When I ordered the “devil potatoes” they warned me as they always do about the spice, I drunkenly bantered with the waiter that I’ve had them before and can hack it, then jokingly added “in fact make them extra spicy”. Anyway, they did cook them extra hot, probably thinking he could embarrass the cocky British bloke. I wolfed them down no problem, my mate had one and I just watched his face go red and start coughing. Felt so bad.

      My brother is half white half Mexican and I am pretty much full white.

      He decided to order his as hot as mine even though we all warned him not to.

      His food tasted pretty good at about 3:30 the next morning

      Skill issue.

      Fun fact about spice tolerance. Many people think tolerance = resistance but that’s not the case. After a certain point, people who love spicy foods report the same levels of spiciness compared to those who don’t regularly eat it, it’s just that they are used to it and even like it. So something that is a 10/10 spicy is the same level of spicy for everyone, it’s just some masochists prefer it to be that way.

      So when people say things like “oh that wasn’t that spicy” it still usually is spicy. Their personality just prefers it that way so it doesn’t bother them as much.

        Every now and again I crave sweat inducing, tear rolling spice, it does hurt and it is spicy but somehow I get a buzz out of it… Kinda bizzare really.

        I’m fairly certain that tolerance does mute the spiciness of foods. There are foods others struggle with that I hardly notice is even spicy.

        It feels more like building a muscle than building a skill.

          Yes, your tastebuds become “jaded.” It’s part of why little kids don’t tend to like any spiciness at all.

        • Genetics play a bit of a factor and your taste buds do develop more as you get older. But if you’re comparing tongue for tongue, the tingly/pain sensations are rated to be more or less the same.

        My jerk chicken isn’t hot enough unless I’m crying from both my eyes and my nose after 5 wings. Anything less and it’s just mild jerk wings.
