I hate cooking for Dh's family b/c i have to bland everything up! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1731281 Mon, 30 Jun 2014 07:29:14 +0000 Canoli 1731281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't handle spice either. It's just painful for me and I don't think it tastes good. My poor husband who loves spice gets bland food when I cook! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1731122 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 22:50:07 +0000 googly-eyes 1731122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I think so too! I used to not be able to eat spicy food but enough time around dh changed that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1731119 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 22:44:37 +0000 babycanuck 1731119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love spice - my stomach doesn't appreciate it the next day but I just can't help it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1731113 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 22:22:40 +0000 birdofafeather 1731113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cannot tolerate spicy. It turns my stomach! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730303 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 08:24:13 +0000 Anya 1730303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be like this but I find that as I get older I have a greater tolerance for spice (I think because our taste buds die/get less sensitive as we age). I am still particular about spice, for example I love cayenne but I can't handle jalapeño </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730257 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 07:05:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1730257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was a spice weenie when we first got together. Now he loves it and ways hotter foods turn I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730255 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 07:01:29 +0000 BananaPancakes 1730255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I agree. I never ate spicy foods at all growing up, but my husband loves them. Over the years together and regularly increasing the heat to my husband's presence, I now love the spice! We put jalepenos and hot sauce on everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730186 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 02:50:09 +0000 mrsrain 1730186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with you ladies, and the only one in my family who can't eat spicy foods. Certain things make my lips blister. That said, I think reactions like ours are more than just "dislike" of spicy things! A mild allergy, perhaps. Thinking about it like that makes me feel better about it, at any rate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730170 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 01:09:44 +0000 HLK208 1730170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I thought about buying that salsa yesterday! Don't worry, I'll take it from your house :) I'm all about the spice!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730169 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 01:09:22 +0000 sandy 1730169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I think that's true! I used to not tolerate spicy that well but I really liked spicy flavors and now many years later i can eat pretty spicy food.</p> <p>One of my favorite things to eat is stir fry veggies and I cover the veggies and rice in cayenne pepper...my mouth burns but I just love it. I cook a lot of separate meals for LO bc DH and I really like super spicy food and she can't handle it at all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730166 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 01:02:37 +0000 PurplePeony 1730166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty much a spice weenie. I can do medium salsas but nothing hotter, and at Indian or Thai restaurants I go with the lowest amount. I used to be able to tolerate more, but my DH has bad gastro reactions to spice so we don't eat anything really spicy, sadly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730131 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 23:31:54 +0000 sunny 1730131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think spice tolerance is something you can build up. You also lose it if you don't keep it up! I used to be able to eat much spicier food 10 years ago than I can now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730082 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 22:44:37 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1730082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: it's so spicy!

Ouch ouch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730067 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 22:35:48 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1730067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: ooooh, ring of fire? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730066 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 22:35:28 +0000 autumnlove 1730066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, I need to try that salsa! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730065 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 22:34:34 +0000 .twist. 1730065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh ooooh! Me! I am! Me! </p> <p>It's sad. I love it so much and the flavours are so great but daaaamn. Not only do I pay in sweat moustaches but I also pay the next day. :( spicy bum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/being-a-spice-weenie#post-1730062 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 22:30:32 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1730062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to like spicy food. I really, really do. But my body reacts to violently! I start sweating profusely (hello, sweat mustache!), my tongue literally burns like it is on fire, my eyes start to water.... It's miserable! Physically painful.</p> <p>I just got some Avocado Tomatillo salsa from Costco... it says "medium" on the packaging, but I was coughing and gagging and sweating from the spice. I WANTED TO LIKE IT SO BAD because the flavor was great, but I just couldn't do it.</p> <p>Am I totally lame? Who else is a spice weenie? How much spice can you tolerate? </p>
