I like fresh chilli such as fresh chopped peppers. Most hot sauces have too much salt and preservatives such as tabasco sauce. I like tabasco on oysters but it doesn't taste good on anything else because it is overly salty and sour making it a bad hot sauce to use with dishes that are already salty such as soups.

Fresh peppers are naturally hot and adds no salt or sour taste and easily go well with fish, meats, and soups especially dips.

I enjoy spicy foods. But, not every day though. Once or twice a week for me. Indian, Thai, Sichuan, Mexican are all good.

not a big fan of tabasco either but our younger daughter carries a bottle in her purse all the time. She usees it on almost everything. For me, some foods cal for hot spice, we love our jalapenos and some peppers that are even hotter but do like like to over due it. When the heat over powers the true taste of the food, it is over kill. This is true with any spice.

You should make some Xni Pec salsa (shnee pick).

I'm a chili head, but not someone who eats super hot chilis just to do so. The food has to have good flavor and not just something to "blow your head off".

I worked in a restaurant in Del Rio, Texas in the 70's. I was the only gringo in a group Hispanic cooks. They took a lot of pride in being able to down jalapeno peppers one after the other. I ate as much as I could of one pepper, but immediately got the hiccups and started burping. Fortunately, they were nice guys and didn't make fun of me, at least to my face.



I love hot food, but sometimes it doesn't love me back. I've moderated my consumption of spicy peppers after spending some burning moments on the pot.

That is why you always have ice cream after a very spicy meal!

I love me some hot, spicy foods - especially Mexican and Korean inspired foods - but at 56 I've noticed that suddenly, when I eat something hot, I immediately get hiccups! Dang it!

Being from NOLA, I love spicy foods, but I'm finding as I get older I can't tolerate it as much as I used to. I pop a Pepcid before I eat anything spicy. If not, I'll be up all night with heartburn and acid reflux.
