wim2 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Do you tend to like spicy or mild foods? For me, it's spicy all the way. I love Mexican food, because it normally contains peppers, onions, cayenne pepper and other lovely spicy flavors. I love jalapeno peppers so much, I'll often grab one out of the jar and snack on it. I love onions too. When making a burger, instead of just a few rings of onion, I'll put a whole slice or two on my burger. I put cayenne pepper on just about any meat I eat (chicken, pork, even some beef) and I love crushed red peppers on pizza. So what about you. Do you prefer mild or spicy?

Silva Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I prefer spicy but it's vinegar that I really love. I eat loads of salads covered in balsamic vinegar. I eat pickled beetroot, pickled eggs, pickled everything and I drink cider vinegar regularly. Heck, I even use a sip of the stuff to cure my hiccups!

mamascash Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I am spicy all the way! I don't like jalapeño peppers as much anymore; I find them bitter. I prefer Thai Chile, habanero and banana peppers. Last summer I grew beans and made the spiciest dilly beans for my Caesar's and even spicy pickled beets!

Perfect7 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I prefer mild, but I have a daughter who LOVES spicy! On the other hand, I have a son who HATES anything even a little bit spicy, so it goes both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klicky Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I like an occasional twang of spicy (like a few sausages on my pizza or some garlic in my mashed potatoes), but generally I go for mild. When I eat spicy, all I taste is the spicy. I prefer to taste the pork or the chicken or the potatoes or the pasta or the veggies, rather than feeling the textures of those foods while my mouth simmers in a spicy brew.

Burton Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I like spicy foods, as in jalapenos on nachos and "too much" garlic in Caesar salads. The spiciest food I ever had was in Mexico and I discovered that if you get into trouble with a burning tongue, some lime juice can bail you out right away. Has anyone else here tried that?

wim2 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I watched something on the Discovery channel once that the best thing for a burning mouth (from eating something too spicy) is milk. They tested milk against water, beer, bread and a few other things, and milk was best to cool off your mouth. I've never heard about lime juice.

charcharg Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I like spicy. Well, most of the time. The only thing I like mild that I can get in spicy is guacamole. Other than that, I want spicy if it is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knchatty Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I like both spicy and mild, so my answer depends on my mood. I love hot chicken wings when I'm feeling stressed. I order mild wings when I'm feeling content. It's odd I know! I really don't like Mexican food (besides taco's). It is not the spice that keeps me away, it's the look and texture of the food.
