Of adding chillies to a meal that you cannot enjoy because the roof of your mouth is clinging to your fork, your ears are ringing, eyes watering and there is a stream of fluid trailing from your nose?

I just bought a take out curry which fits the above description, the guy behind the counter told me it was not hot............. I am typing this through a flood of tears!!


For those who like 'hot' food, tell me, do you actually enjoy this stuff?

tastebud sensitivities may be different.

I suspect someone had a laugh with you, however.


I bet he did, he would not be laughing when I visit his shop again!!!

I agree with you totally. In the SW Mexican food is full of chilis, etc, same thing. I thought that here it was because it raised your body temp and you couldn't feel the heat, it's the only sane thing I can think of. I like taste in my food, not just spice, even curry.
When cooking, thought the point was that all spices blended to make a unique new taste. Not SW food.

on that note...its just like other cooking 'genre's' the heat.

You have to consider how all the ingredients play with each other, and I enjoy many of the chili hot stuff. I would not put chilis on my pancakes, my ice cream, my tuna salad etc...just a personal combo choice is all.

with chicken, cheese, celery, nuts (oo now im thinking kung pao), these could make for interesting combos for me.


I love spicy food, but spicy should not be to the point where you cannot savour the combination of spices. That meal had too much, so much so that it tasted bitter, I had about four spoonsful and called it a day.

Chillies, in a hot country? Oh wow! I guess they eat with their clothing off and the air conditioner turned up to the maximum.
