moderate. i like spicy things but i find a lot of the spice that people chase - extremely high amounts of capascin - is frankly not only overpowering but boring. spices are a whole realm of condiments. step away from the weird habanero cultivars made by people who view the scoville number as a high score, and step into the wonderful world of indian tumeric, sichuan peppers, mild unripe spanish padrón peppers...

i just want my basic orange habanero.. i dont care as much for the big amount of spicy and theyre the ceiling for what i can handle but they're delicious, meanwhile some of the stuff people eat so they can prove they can handle spicy looks like itd taste of rusty pipe
yeah a lot of "spicy food" talk is this weird... competition to prove STRENGTH and POWER at the expense of the actual flavor and balance of the food
i don't remember who i saw calling it a kind of. machismo? toxic masculinity? but i think they were right. jalapenos may be pretty mild but i think they taste nearly as good as a habanero honestly. though they're also a very different taste
yepyep. my favorite peppers, the aforementioned dried, unripe spanish padróns are actually an extremely mild one, like so mild its barely even "spicy", because a pepper flavor with almost no heat is something that you want as an ingredient in certain dishes!
i remember when i first went to spain, i had some fries with one of those on top, and i was blown away, because i could finally contextualize what the flavor of "a pepper" even was seperate from the burning sensation lil hatchling andi struggled with so much
yeah sometimes i just want the flavor of a pepper without the spicy. but also i can't really relate to people saying they can't taste stuff because of the burn? i've always been able to tell that apart even if i'm choking on fire :p it's why i was never too big on just regular chili peppers except when they're used in some things like. idk chicken noodle soup comes to mind
if you like spicy soup may I reccomend: tantanmen ramen
It's Sichuanese spice flavors adapted into ramen it's so goof
I literally never liked spicy food because of the idea that you have to be able to eat the hottest and spiciest food or sauce ever. Hearing how you explain it however sounds much more appealing and I should try finding some semi spicy food around me.
