Whats your spice tolerance?

[Cardboardtubeknight Cardboardtubeknight]

The list is missing 16 mil which is pepper spray, which is mine. I jest, I'm at habanero levels. Its actually a little peeve of mine when spice takes over the entire flavor of a dish. Probably why I like cajun cuisine. I also have "fissure tongue" which means the capsaicin is pretty much like that roommate that moves in, and refuses to take their shoes off.

It depends on a lot of factors. Fresh jalapenos have made be sweat, but reaper salsa has been delicious. I mostly prefer more flavorful stuff like chipotles in adobo than full on spice though.

I can go up to Trinidad Scorpion (or at the very least that's the spiciest thing I've tried so far in my life) but in all honesty it's just not a very pleasant experience at that point. The burning sensation is bearable but I hate the way my face becomes a mess of tears and snot. Another thing is that as the saying from my uni days goes, really spicy food burns twice and the second time can be so much worse than the first time. Also, obligatory meme:

i usually eat stuff in the fiery hot and scary hot sections.

Hot hot because I'm afraid as fuck of eating a ghost pepper and then dying of a seizure. Noooo thank you

Somewhere between "Spicy" and "Hot".

I love spicy stuff but I agree with Clippy that flavor should always take priority over heat. Like I could try a carolina reaper but what would the point be if it wouldnt taste good and would be nothing BUT spice, may as well just bite into a lemon at that point.

Definitely in the Hot Hot tier of Spice Tolerance, my body may, not but my spirit craves for that Fire. I wish to try the raw flames of that Ghost pepper one day.

Exactly! A prime jalapeno can even hurt me, meanwhile I've have ghost pepper/reaper sauces and shit that do nothing and people think they can handle spice because they can "handle" stuff like that... A prime raw habernero is about my limit, and I definitely pay for it the next morning >_<

the second time can be so much worse than the first time

very true...

that flavor should always take priority over heat.

There is no hope for some of us like me

My tolerance for spice is pretty high, somewhere in the Fiery Hot tier. That being said, I prefer my spicy foods to be a tier or two lower for flavor and not just heat.

 

[Nidoking's iconNidoking]

Right around cayenne.

 

[Bakuma1997]

Jalapeño, once i ate an habanero as a kid (Per a bet for 50$) but otherwise i can't stand anything higher, heck, i HATE spicy food

 

[Scotty]

I can't handle most spicy foods. I can tolerate Jalapeno Cheetos and spicy chicken nuggets, but that's about it.

I'd probably die if I had to eat a ghost pepper or something crazy lol.

 

[Dr.Kisaragi]

Well I like Spicy Food mostly I can survive spicy flavor but some I cannot the the strong spice smell than the flavor.

 

[Stingy Perry Stingy Perry]

Spicy level my tolerance isn’t tea that high.

 

[Guinea]

I can eat superhots without freaking out, but the STOMACH PAIN is crazy.

 

[KaiserMk7]

Will slurp diablo sauce directly from excess packets not poured into the hollow in my taco bell burrito.
Will avoid homemade berry and ghost pepper jam because it's nothing but a burn so intense I can't taste any other ingredient.

 

[freebie#47]

I dunno, but it is related to Elvis Presley song Burning Love.... also I tried a ghost pepper raw, exactly how the lyrics go

 

[nyka]

for me it's...likely somewhere between 50k & 200k scovilles :'3

 

[PrismRed]

As an Asian, spice tolerance is part of my default racial ability, I never tried ghost pepper or anything around that level but I can eat habanero just fine, if I have to hazard a guess mine is probably around 200000.

 

[Yousef]

None, I crash out hard.

 

[PhrawzT]

I love spicy foods. I'm in the Fiery Hot section and used to eat the Paqui ghost pepper chips before they were discontinued, and I keep a bottle of El Yucateco habanero sauce on my desk at all times.

 

[Faust03]

I don't think my spice tolerance is that high, but I tend to eat spicy foods anyways

 

[jiyuuboyetsvi]

absolute 0

 

[moonbits]

Had a traumatizing experience as a child so I don't indulge often but I can handle mid spicy.
