Before I quit smoking almost 14 years ago, I had no tolerance for heat in food. Now I love spicy food, up to just shy of habanero peppers. I like ghost chili touches, but not a lot.

No tolerance. I've never understood how people enjoy eating napalm.

I like spicy foods but not over the top. I most always use Franks on eggs, chili, and a few other things. Nothing any hotter.

I LOVE spicy food. There is a point of diminishing return, however. If all I taste is spicy, that usually means I'm missing out on the rest of the flavors in the dish. That's no bueno.

I make a killer spinach dip that can use various types of chiles. I've made it with green chile, habanero, jalapeno, fresh ghost chile, Trinidad scoprions, and Carolina reapers. They were all awesome.

I love heat, if it doesn’t make my forehead sweat, it’s not hot enough.

For me the hotter the better, I put cayenne on everything I eat (well almost) and habanero ho t sauce.

So I would say mine is very high!

Unfortunately very high.

Love hot peppers, put it in everything, mix it in salad dressing.

Favorite, is to take a scotch bonnet, use a garlic press and mash it out and put into hummus.

Flaked rd pepper is good on everything I find.

I find with use, I can tolerate any/all natural types of peppers.

Concentrates are another matter, not fond of them as they are all heat and little flavor.

We used to eat Ghost peppers at work to wake us up on night shift if that answers it.

We were subscribed to "the last dab" monthly box and tried the sauce by the same name. Was actually really good.

I prefer ground sauces like that one, Secret Aardvark (my favorite) and others that simply include vinegar, ginger, etc. to the concentrated oily sauces.

Not very much now. When I was young, I would eat a volcano if I could.

It's not that I don't like it, it's just it makes me sick now. Anyone that says spicy food won't affect an ulcer is not telling you the truth.

I like a little spicy, about the medium range. If it burns me up, I will pass.

Depends on the type of spicey, Mexican....I like pretty hot....Asian, maybe a medium.

Speaking of Asian hot, my boss and I were in a Thai restaurant and when we ordered they asked how hot 1-5 did we want, I asked for a 4 since most Thai places seem to down grade their hot for the Americans. My Boss asked the waitress, "How hot is 5?" Her response "Are you flying tomorrow?" When he responded in the negative she said "ok, you should be fine"

Cracked us up

You're right. My Dad got pretty sick from eating a small piece of an Ortega pepper, which isn't hot at all for me. Yes, he had an ulcer.

Mine is moderately high.

Finally…

Good to see some true chili-heads represent!
