No I Dont ... I Love It

A personal story in the experience: I Like Spicy Food
I love love love spicy food. And i also hate bland and sweet stuff [except for chocolate :)]. I crave spicy food and I feel depressed if there is something spicy near me that I cant eat [ok ... maybe not depressed ... but you know how it feels when you're just dying to have sex with that cute guy over there and you just cant get it right then .. lol]. I guess this is a result of being Indian. My Japanese aunt came here and bit something spicy and burst into tears. My Aussie aunt, well, she didnt cry [thank god!!!] but she did complain that the most bland foods were spicy. Now you get an idea of my taste.

I've been trying to teach myself Indian cooking for about three months. I love the spices and heat, and just love being able to come home from work and warm up the leftovers.

That's nice. Maybe I should try some cooking too but everything I make ends up getting burnt. :(
Have you ever been to India??

julygirl: Nope, just like variety, especially spicy food. I've been experiementing for many years with any cuisine I happen to try and like.

Do you cook Indian recipes?

I don't cook anything if I can help it. Its a form of torture to eat what I make ... lol. But hey, I can make scrambled eggs, coffee, tea [if someone is next to me giving instructions] ... and I'm very good at tasting all the food my friend[amazing cook!!] makes. Does that count?

My mom cooks pretty well and there are many people who cook well around here ... and of course, how can I forget all that really yummy takeout we're forever buying? There is this chicken place near here ... I wish you could come to India and taste their chicken. It's million times better than even KFC.

In my 20's I battled my weight and so had to look for ways to make food good without being fattening. Spices were part of the equation. Unwittingly, I have been building up my tolerance for hotness -- (:-)). You start to crave it in your savory foods. The best thing, is that it's not bad for you, unlike, it seems, are: fat, salty, and sweet as dominant flavors.

It's a gradual process: you start substituting spicy ingredients for some of the others. You don't eliminate; you just try to find a healthy balance. Trite, but true;I can say this confidently after struggling with this transition for 30+ years.

Love Butter Chicken (I know, it's really mild); Beef Vindaloo is another favourite.

Went to a restaurant with one of my uncles who'd been raised in India and when he got his dinner it was too hot for him. So he let me have it :D I'll admit, I drank a fair bit of water, but it was very tasty.

Anything with jalapenos too.
