When I'm making dinner I often make a base stew or whatever, serve it to my partner, then in goes the curry paste, reggae reggae sauce, chillis etc for mine.

So, out there in DS-land, spicy food: yay or nay?

I don't mind it in a dish but I wouldn't put chilli sauce etc on my food after it had been cooked.

I am rubbish with spice, I need a gallon of milk near me if I have anything that is remotely spicy hot. I don't rule out spicy food - but if it is too hot then I don't see the point, sometimes things are added just for heat and heat is not flavour.

Spicy yes, but hot not particularly.

I could never eat a vindaloo in Britain (but funnily enough, could in the country of origin, Goa, because it was milder!) nor a phal, but love adding things like cumin, cardamom etc to veggies etc.
I have a lot of recipes from my Indian sister in law, and they all use spices, but not a lot of chillies. Which is lovely.

Love spices, but also love delicate flavours. The last very simple dish i made was griddled salmon and griddled asparagus. Mmmmmm.

Nay, nay and thrice nay

Even black pepper is too hot for me - don`t like pain especially when eating.

I like spicey food but with the exception of Tobasco I'm not a fan of store-bought hot sauces. the ones I tried have an underlying sweetness I wasn't keen on.

A big nay from me! I can't hack anything stronger than onions/garlic. I can just about manage raw onion in a salad, so anything stronger than that just tastes like fire and burning for my weak pain threshold!

I'm becoming more of a fan. Not seriously spicy but in everyday dishes I now add some fresh chilli or hot sauce just to get a little tingle on the tongue.

Although i love my curries, still not to hot though.
Vindallo or Phall are much to hot for me, will eat them but barely finish the curry.
It's the texture & spices with the meat or veg that floats my boat.
Sticking to madras or ceylonese for me.

A vindaloo is a curry made with wine and potatoes and not meant to be especially hot - "vin = wine & aloo = potatoes" basically a fusion portuguese, indian dish.

I love hot food going in but hate it comming out

Yes but not too hot. Even 'medium' hot chicken in peri peri restaurants is too hot for me.

I'm not a fan of curries, probably because I can't make them from scratch so eat them from takeaways or from a jar. They all seem to be too greasy.


I prefer spicy food in other things like black pepper, harissa or thai food.
