As I sit there CHOKING with four people staring at me... I just wipe the tears off my face and gasp out, "I'll be fine. It's really better to cough it out.". I was then dumb enough to try again after a little break... only a 2 minute coughing fit this time. My hostess was reduced to offering me grilled cheese or left-over pizza. I don't know whether she or I was more embarrassed. I tried to tell her I was fine, but then a couple hours later my stomach started growling. Ugh!

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA That said, I visited a Wing Stop restaurant that specializes in chicken wings. They have like, an 'Atomic Sauce' that was so hot, it almost made me start crying. It was horribly and painfully hot.

Originally Posted By TheParsec I used to love eating spicy food all the time, spicy and hot, but now I cant. Once in a while I crave something spicy or hot, then I take a bite and after I say "No more!"
Originally Posted By tashajilek Thanks lpfan i didnt even know they existed and cant wait to try now.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo MMMMmmmmmm I love Curry, one of my fav dishes. As well as most mexican delights or Thai or Peri Peri Chicken. But I do not like my food too hot, but warmer than some. I like to be able to taste the food. I once had a Prawn Phal - hottest curry possible, hotter than a Vindaloo - not to my pallette. I do recommend though, if you are not into hot stuff but want to give it another try, go to an indian restaurant and order either a Khorma, Chicken Tikka Masala or Biryani. They are all quite lightly spiced.
