What country/region do you think has the hottest everyday cuisine?

A few contenders:
Thialand/South East Asia
Indian regions where the ghost/naga chilli is prominent
South Africa with the piri piri
Central Africa
Carribean/West Indies with the Scotch Bonnet
Mexico and Central/South America

Two that I would nominate are South Korea and Sichuan Province in China. Both are known for their love of heat.

It's China. Szechuan to be precise.

You're right, my local shop owner is from Sri Lanka and quering a recipe with him and his wife the other day they gave me about 10-15 chillies to put in! Now I love hot food but...! There's a programme about Sri Lankan food on the Good food channel ATM and the guy actually says after he's added copious amounts of black pepper etc "if in doubt do it the Sri Lankan way and add more chillies"!
Beautiful food tho' - as a veggie it's so inspiring.

Either Sri Lankan or Thai. I love Thai food but it destroys me for two days, normally.

My guess would be south/southeast Asia. And, actually, I don't think Mexican food is necessarily all that hot-- unless you count some of the different sauces that are used as condiments.

Mexico sells alot of chilli sauce and adds to food but most dishes arent that hot.

The USA probably has the hottest challenge dishes, but I would say Thai or Sri Lankan for the hottest in general.

I've read a Jay Rayner review where he ate proper Sichuan in London. He said the heat was ridiculous.
