I love spicy foods. I would throw every chillies i found in anything that i cook or eat (excepts for cakes and ice creams, ofcourse). And i was thinking, maybe i am just a kind a person who can't live without chilli and pepper. Even though i have to be hospitalized after taking too much chilli in everything i ate. I can't live without chilli or pepper, can you?

I'm not a great big fan of spicy food. I can live without it.

Does it means you've tried it once and didn't like it afterwards? Well, i can understand that. The thing is i got addicted to spicy foods. I remembered a time when i spent holiday in Bangkok and got ill because of this tom yum soup i have, but still that cannot stop me loving spicy foods. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

yes, my friends who have been to thailand have told me that they are so fond of spicy hot foods over there. in fact, i got some candied fruits for a present. and lo and behold, what a suprise it was to see so many red and green chilis all lodged therein. the candy tasted splendid, though. i admit that it was a good mix. the chilis really enhanced the flavor greatly.

i love spicy foods, too. however, the spices that i always make sure to be around the kitchen at all times include: garlic, tomatoes and onions. i used to make sure that there is also gingeroot around but it has gone very expensive where we are settled right now. as for black pepper and the tiny ones which are also in greens and reds, i use them once in a while on specific recipes. this means that i am those who can live without chillis and pepper.

so you are online, right now, friend? members of my household could not survive without spices. my elder son is the one who loves hot spicy foods the most among us. he always looks for chillis and pepper everytime he eats. in fact he has kept handy some hot sauce to top it all.

Yes. Spicy foods always smells better with ginger roots, garlic, tomatoes and onions. Well, i guess i have to learn to contract my addict to pepper and chillis

As much as i love spicy food and how i cannot stop critize my mom cooking on Christmas (she forgot to buy chillis and pepper, can you believe that? LOL), i know that too much on anything can hurts our body. I've been hospitalized twice because of that spicy foods, but still i just cannot stop.

me too, i really love eating spicy foods specially on spaghetti and pizza, i just dont know why but i like putting too much hot sauce on my pizza. Thanks God, i haven't experience being hospitalized yet because of this or maybe the amount is not that enough. i can also say that im a big fan of spicy food...
