Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 Personally I like it fiery 99% of the time and Over the top once in a while, that great, massively sweat producing, must drink lots of whatever is around, honestly cannot finish it catharsis. One problem with this poll, however, most people I know think my definition of fiery is over the top and occasionally I have problems/get in trouble because people add a little spice because they think I would like it, which is a nice thought, but I can't make out any extra heat/spice whatsoever.

Me too - just like that! Well, if you like it Over the Top at all, then you're in that first category - :-) > One problem with this poll, however, most > people I know think my definition of fiery > is over the top and . . . You're right of course. But it's a matter of personal opinion - and it's for fun, not a scientific study. And you notice, if you have not had hot and spicy for a while, then you taste it as being 'hotter' than you would if you had been having it at every meal for the last few weeks/months. That too. No easy way to measure that in a poll. Thought of itemizing the numbers of chillies and kinds thereof - eg. 1 thai green chili equals . . . But decided that got too tricky - especially for those who use pastes and sauces to get their heat rather than fresh or dried chillies. As I say, just for fun! I can never taste the chillies in 'hot' food except if I ask for it to be made 'very very spicy' in a restaurant. Some Indian and Thai (etc.) restaurants excepted in larger cities. love, pat Quote
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 In the " other " category I would include Szechuan peppercorns and various types of radish!
