I'll go as hot as a habanero with food, not by itself. I don't even want to try those extreme ones like the ghost pepper.

Nope, I don't do well with hot peppers. They do a number on my mouth.

In India a couple of year ago, I bit into what I thought was a tempura'ed string bean. It wasn't. No, indeedy, it was some sort of pepper waaaay up there on the score. Thought I was going to die until they brought me a big bowl of yogurt to stuff my mouth with. Even at that, my mouth hurt for three days.

I don't like them scorching hot but do like banana peppers and mild peppers, maybe with a tinge of hot.

Guy is crazy,
Hotter than a carolina reaper?! Hottest Pepper in the world

I like hot peppers but always on the side so I can decide how hot I want it!!

I like hot spicy things. I learned a couple of years ago that (at least for me) there is a safe age limit.
After eating hot peppers for years with no problems, a couple of years ago, I was dining out with friends & the meal came with what looked like a Jalapeno pepper. I could tell after a bite that it was much hotter than any other Jalapeno I've tasted. Good thing I was home 30 minutes later. Terrible stomach pain & diarrhea. I can still eat Habaneros & hot salsa with no problems.

I enjoy these on a pizza or stuffed with meatball mix as an appetizer.

I would never eat a blistering hot pepper to get a moment of fame or prove my ability to endure pain.

I love a touch of hot but on the side for me. Just bought a banana pepper plant to try to grow my own.

I usually grow Jalapeno and Tabasco in the garden. I make my own Tabasco sauce because I make it without salt.

I like a moderately hot chilli pepper, but I like to taste my food - not have it overwhelmed by heat.

I grew up eating hot peppers on many dishes. My dad would say, "OK, it's your butt!" He was right: I had to quit all spicy foods, after surgery, some thirty years ago. I really miss them. I grew habaneros. Always had a bumper crop. Nature was mocking me!

Very cool. Ok I’m familiar with the jalapeño but what is a Tabasco? Is it a pepper also?
I really like hot peppers but within reason. Mouth burning hot doesn’t appeal to me.

If it kills the taste buds, it isn't for me!

 

[Llynn]

Can I? Yes.
Do I? No.
My people were never big on eating food that hurts.

You will love them I guarantee it.

I like a little spice, but Dave really likes it hot. I'm OK with jalapenos, maybe even serranos, nothing more. I had a pepper once that I thought was mild, and it was NOT! My throat closed off for about a minute -- very scary!

 

[Gary O']

Love the hot

Unfortunately, my sphincter vehemently objects

 

[OneEyedDiva]

I can't eat very hot anything. I literally can't taste anything else after I eat food that's too hot (spicy).

 

[RadishRose]

I like a little zippy, but not too much.
