I'm asking this question and hopefully I will see the answers from different countries. I know that French people don't like very hot pepper and it's very rare to find a French person living in France who likes them. But when I came here to the US I discovered that many people like chili which is hot pepper and I think that is because of the Mexican food influence especially in California.
Do you like hot pepper and spicy food and what country are you from?

I am from Malaysia and I do really love the hot and spicy food. It is becomes our country taste when it goes to the food. Most of the part in Malaysia use chili pepper in our cooking. This is because of the blend of the races which we have here in my country. Back to history, our country was the route for the European spices trader who came to get the spices from Maluku Island and Java Island in Indonesia. Since before, the blend of Malay, Hindu, Arabian, Portuguese, Java and the local tribes have been using chili in their culinary. Personally I find that chili makes my food taste even better.

Thanks smellsyummy. I'm happy that you corrected that. My husband is American and he loves hot pepper and so does his family. I shouldn't conclude that most of Americans love hot pepper heh? Okay.

I was born in Portugal but lived in quite a few different countries including Brazil and Angola. IN all those we enjoy hot peppers and spicy food.
We use hot peppers ( malaguetas )in many of our dishes and we also use a paste made of hot peppers, or instead of just plain oil - we use olive oil the most - we mix it with dried hot peppers and use it when cooking some dishes.
In Angola we used a very strong hot pepper, but I can't remember what it was called. It was really strong but I loved it :)
