How much heat can you handle?

I love spicy food. Habanero Chicken Stir-Fry or minced heat into sushi.

Personally I can tolerate Habaneros. But I am not afraid to go hotter.

Spicy food is good. I've tried eating a ghost pepper. However I ended up coughing and rolling in agony. I can't see anyone eating one and keep a straight face for long. Hottest pepper I think is the Carolina Reaper at 2.2 million SHU. The pepper looks like Satan's poop.

Did you do this without the milk?

I drank some milk. It was straight pain. Though I did like the mild warm feel on the roof of my mouth and tongue after awhile.

Anyways spicy stuff I like...

Buffalo Wings

Chili

General Tso's Chicken

Chipotle Beef-Stuffed Peppers

Sriracha Sauce

I can't eat any spicy stuff. I have Acid Reflux and eating something spicy is agony.

Though I heard Capsaicin is actually good for Acid Reflux sufferers and good for other things. But I am not willing to go through pain to try it out.

I love chilli, I have a red and green chilli with my eggs every morning, sadly I ate all the chillies on my bush...

I came second in a chilli eating competition at my local chilli festival, 20mins later I was shitting burning lava, was a lot of fun.

Yep I love the hot stuff, would never be stupid enough to eat a ghost pepper but I do like it in a sauce, a little goes a long way and can heat up a whole stew without using much

My friends & I tried a few sauces: Carolina Reaper, Trinidad moruga scorpion, & Ghost pepper with some bao buns and the Reaper sauce kept getting hotter and hotter for nearly a hour. We also bought a couple containers of ice cream & popsicles just for this and it didn't really help. I took a nap right after it stopped being hot because it just took that much out of me.

Favorite Hot Sauce: Valentina salsa picante extra. It's not even that hot but it tastes great.

Favorite Hot Pepper: Bird's Eye chili/Thai prik pepper. It's good both ripe & dried and tastes fruity with habanero-level heat.

I love spicy food!

but i haven nothing fancy, just lots of newer stuff with sriracha sauce. I like old fashioned crunchy tacos with spicy salsa or a good hearty, rich spicy chili on a cold rainy day

My cuisine is spicier than most other cuisines and I can take moderately spicy food. In my family, I would say I have less tolerance for spicy food, such as, when others are enjoying I start sipping on water or just don't like it..

At Thai places, I usually order three stars. My mom dislikes spicy food, but when we get takeout visiting her I am firm about drawing the line at NO one star items!

Only time I had food that was too spicy to finish was vindaloo at an Indian restaurant in New Jersey, and noodles at a Chinese place in Scotland.
