How high is your tolerance for spicy food?

Do you like those bell peppers or tobasco sauce?

Oh, and is it true that ketchup helps to cool down spiciness in your mouth or is that just a rumor?

The maximum tolerance I can hold is the spiciness of the Jalapeno.

I would say pretty high, people who think jalapenos are spicy make me laugh.

Not even slightly high

Jalapenos burn my throat.:( You might as well set my tongue on fire.:P

Ate a bag of these and survived. I was under the tap sucking water for about an hour though.

like someone holding a blowtorch to my anus unpleasant.Brutal_Elitegs

milk actually is what gets rid of the burning after eating spicy food

i love spicy food, unfortunately my stomachs been messed up and i cant eat much of it :(

Very high, I am Latin afterall.

To give you an idea of my tolerance, I eat 2 to 3 raw uncooked Thai pepper or Bird's Eye Chili with my meals that are often already cooked with the Thai Peppers. Just as a comparison, they are on the Scoville Scale of 100,000 while the Jalapeno Pepper is at 6000. Not bragging or anything but it's just a common thing to eat it with your meal OR cook it with your meal in Southeast Asia. I prefer to eat the green raw & the red cooked. The green ones are crispier to bite into while the red ones seem to be sweeter & soft which seems to be better for cooking.

I've had the Habanero Chili which is at 250,000 & I'll admit it kicked my ass but I loved it. It's fun to blow your mind on occasion but to eat it as part of your regular meal seems out of control. I'll stick to my Thai peppers for now.

Ridiculous but more power to you. I've never encountered a raw Habanero (I haven't see them at the grocery store) but if I did, I wouldn't mind trying it when eating lunch or dinner but probably not by itself. Is there a particular color that you prefer? I know that there is the black Habanero, orange Habanero & a milder yellow-orange Habanero. Took a cuisine class at school once. We did a chapter on chilis & Habaneroes & my favorite Thai chili was included.

I love spicy food, so my tolerance for it is pretty high. Had a spicy meal half an hour ago and earlier than that.

I would say high, I eat some pretty spicy foods :P

I'm latin need I say more?

I enjoy it, but would consider my tolerance rather low. a few jalapenos in a meal is alright, but anything more than that is usually too hot.

I can take anything... I just don't enjoy it.

Pretty high, I eat food from the Middle East and India on a regular basis. So that should pretty much answer it Lol.

The highest a spicy tolerance can go. :twisted:

I love spicy food. I'm Indian, so I grew up with a lot of my food being pretty damn spicy :P

Not incredibly high; I don't enjoy a lot of it. But in small doses, it can be very tasty... especially Thai stuff.

I have a very high tolerance for spicy foods. I can take jalapenos like a champ.JC346

Pfft, jalapenos. I have deep fried chillies as appetizers 8)

I have a pretty high tolerance for spicy foods. I like to put habaneros in my stir fry. The rush of capcacin from peppers is great.

As you get older, your tolerance for spicy increases as the sensitivity of your taste buds declines.
