i have a friend who could never go without hot sauce on her dish. she puts it in her soup, in her dips and a dash of it on her pizza even with those food that says with chili in them. i would like some on my pizza and some dishes but in moderation.

Yes, I love hot and spicy food. I think chili can often increase my appetite. But I can't take it too much because I can't stand it. However, if it is in moderation, it will be okay.

not only does it increase you appetite, chilis are actually good for those with colds according to an article i've read. it's a natural decongestant.

Oh yes, I love spicy food. I love sambal kangkong (vegetable) Chilli crab Curry chicken Rendang As for pizza, burger, hot dogs, I will add hot sauce or mustard to give it a kick in my taste buds. For soup, I will leave it original. Otherwise, I will op for Tom Yum soup.

I really don't care too much about chili-hot food. But every once in a while I would eat less of it. Sometimes I have a habit of eating some. I usually eat mild food most of the time.

I like this orangish/yellow hot pepper called a habanero pepper. My aunt uses it in alot of things she cooks, I haven't had any recently, but when i do have them i used them in everything! I've even had some with scrabbled eggs for breakfest. For awhile after living with my aunt I used hot sauce or habanero sauce/peppers to eat along with my food. My aunt loves the hot stuff.

Sometimes, I do get a craving for something really spicy. But, not all the time. I think that would be a bit too much in my opinion.

Well, living in Texas we almost have to like hot stuff. Mexican food is a staple around here. Kids start eating hot salsa very early. What is funny is that food here is frequently hotter than the same food in other states. On time we went to Alabama and stopped at a Taco Bell for a meal. We ordered it "hot". The "hot" was mild compared to what we are used to here.

Yes I do. And it depends on the kind of food that I eat before I add any more chillies to it. Some food doesn't taste that good once you add additional chillies to it. Take for example, sandwiches... not all of them go well with chillies.

wow... your friend has some really serious hot taste buds. I know of a few friends who are somewhat like your friend. They will put chillies in everything. Even on softboiled eggs. Take my hat off to these people. Some foods have to be enjoyed without chillies. That is my opinion. ;)

Not much It depends on kinds of food I ate. But my ex-husband really love spicy food I do cooked spicy food just for him. Coz the kids cannot eat spicy food. But I love spicy dip like soy sauce with calamanci or lemon and then with chili.

here in indonesia, most foods come with chilli pepper so most foods are really hot. if they are not, there is chilli paste that goes with every dish. it's called sambal here. my husband likes chili-hot foods and since he's mostly the cook, i eat those too but not that much on chilli.

Only in moderation - they can cause sever acidity and then I have to take antacids for the stomach pain.

you wont get high blood pressure from taking hot sauce unless you have them in your system.

When I was younger I ate everything hot and spicy. Since then, I have developed digestive problems and can no longer tolerate the spicy foods. I really miss them.
