Any other spicy food addicts? * 6
    #28158592 - 01/26/23 03:39 PM (1 year, 1 day ago)

Probably 4/5 of my meals I'm adding some sort of chili powder/flake/fresh/ferment . I have a problem

What are some of your favorite spicy foods?

When ordering out I'm a huge fan of Thai and Indian, they're the only ones who reliably seem to actually crank up the heat. One thai restaurant I go to lets you order by the number of thai chili's you want in your dish, it's awesome

My favorites are basil fried rice or yellow curry for thai, tikka masala and a good vindaloo or curry for indian. I have basically a bucket of full dried thai chili flakes that I add to any thai food, and smoked ghost chili flakes or smoked reaper powder for indian. I don't eat out much but will specifically go to the thai restaurants that bring you the little chili condiment thing (forget the thai name for it)

For typical american food, I actually really like the reaper blazin wings at Buffalo Wild Wings. They're not super spicy unless you're in the restaurant and do the challenge, but the flavor is really good and there's definitely some decent heat to them.

Went to the Thai restaurant I talked about in the OP where you can order by the number of chilis you want in your dish, it's been over a year since I've been there since it's kind of far away and I've been working later

30 used to be my go to number, and it was usually like a 5/10 on my tolerance scale. I don't know if they have a new chef, are using different chilis or what but when I ordered it tonight my yellow curry came out literally red/purple... I laughed out loud when they put it down and was like "uh oh". It was basically a ground chili curry... dried and fresh combined. Fucking heavenly flavor, but it's the first time I've almost had to tap out with spicy food. The flavor was so good I couldn't have stopped if I wanted to. My wife dipped the corner of her fork into the curry to taste like a single drop and was coughing and sweating for the next 10 minutes, liquid fire but enveloped in delicious warm spices and coconut milk

Can't wait to go back and try a noodle stir fry with the heat cranked up

Thai and Indian are definitely top contenders on the spice circuit.

Some Caribbean style jerk chicken or spicy gumbo could also fit the bill.

And whenever I have anything remotely Italian, I'll always be thinkin' about dried chili flake and fruity Calabrian peppers as an adjunct.

Mexican moles and various other salsas can pack a flavorful punch as well.

I discovered pickled Malagueta peppers when eating at a Brazilian restaurant, those things (and almost any pickled or roasted or raw pepper) are amazing. :biggrin:




I've never had what I would consider to be a hot/spicy jerk chicken, and not for lack of trying

I've watched youtube videos of people in jamaica using loads of scotch bonnets in their jerk sauces though, it always makes my mouth water. Here we're lucky if they add a pinch of cayenne.

I found scotch bonnets at an asian grocery store near me (H-Mart) and was all set to blend them up into a nice jerk sauce. I put them in a vitamix and once I started blending the fumes literally gassed my whole house though, everyone was choking and coughing and crying. I had to just throw everything out :lol:

Never heard of the Malagueta, it's going on my shopping list. Pickled peppers that have any sort of heat to them are one of my all time favorite flavors

Spicy food is weird because if you genuinely have a high tolerance, you can't really discuss it openly in most places without people accusing you of trying to sound tough or macho or some dumb shit. For me to get a burn it usually takes an extremely potent product, and I can handle and enjoy basically everything but the crazy extracts/concentrates. It's not something I take any sort of pride in though. I don't even know why I have such a high tolerance, I used to struggle through the average mildly spicy thai/indian curry. I think it was just a gradual escalation of heat level that got me there.

Awhile back my indian friend's wife cooked for us and we were both dying on the amount of chili's she put in it, she then proceeded to pour a bowl for herself, take a bite and decide that she needed to add on a whole heap of dried smoked ghost chilis because it wasn't hot enough for her. I'd never met anyone who was even in the same ballpark as me spicy food tolerance-wise, but this lady was on a whole different level. It's a cool thing to bond over, we all love the combination of the flavor and I guess just hurting ourselves for fun

If it's not spicy it's boring.

I find you need something acidic with  spicy food. Lemon , lime or vinegar really unlock the spice and flavour. Try tom yum or larb pork. My two favourite Thai dishes.

I regularly do my own fermented hot sauces from homegrown Chili. I live for that fermented acidic chili flavour.




I love combining the acidic with the spicy, but I definitely don't think it's a necessity. Some indian and thai curries integrate a vinegar or lemon/lime juice, but others do just fine without it. Lots of hot sauces I seek out because they are less acidic, though other ones I specificially enjoy for their acidic side. I recently bought some "Crystal" hot sauce at the dollar store that tastes like basically vinegar mixed with some cayenne... I fucking love it and douse a whole lot of stuff in it.

That said, a properly made Tom Yum is like heaven in a bowl for me. As I said earlier I absolutely love pickled chilis, ferments can be even better.

Then you can add in the seemingly endless options of roasted or dried or smoked and powders vs flakes vs fresh sliced vs whole vs mashed vs crushed... there's just so many different levels and depths of flavors and textures you can create from a single pepper... I love it all

Got humbled the other night for the first time in like a decade of eating the spiciest stuff I can find

Just a reminder how big a role tolerance plays with spicy food.

Went to a Dave's Hot Chicken. I've got their reaper powdered tender + slide meal like 6 times before, sign the waiver and all of that. Usually it's fine and I end up adding extra reaper mash or hot sauce to it because it's not spicy enough, zero after effects

I dont think I've been eating much spicy food lately and my tolerance must've really dipped. Took the first bite and it was like holy fuckkkk, I started coughing from the reaper powder going everywhere and my head started spinning from the pain, had to get up and walk around. Got down the slider and most of the rest of the tender  instantly ended up on the toilet hunched over felt like I was getting cattle prodded in the stomach.

Didn't sleep the whole rest of the night. If I got in one position and didn't move it would be okay, but the slightest movement and my stomach contents got stirred up and it felt like I was getting stabbed over and over with a fiery pitch fork... for 6 + hours. Almost called out sick the next day, maybe got an hour or two of sleep.

For the rest of the next day any time I pissed was like pissing straight fire, and it burned at a horrible level for the next 20 minutes or so after. Like an awful 10/10 pain that made me want to throw up

Crazy, the only time I've felt anything similar was when eating a pure reaper pepper raw. I've never had any stomach issues from spice before. The chicken was definitely wayyy more coated in reaper powder than usual, but still wild to have that same effect from a meal I've been underwhelmed by a half dozen times before.

Now I understand better why people with no tolerance hate spicy foods :lol:
