Your spicy hot food threshold: Which of these is your “top” level?
  • Zero. I think ketchup is spicy.
  • Extremely low. Easy on the black pepper!
  • Low. Frank’s Red Hot sauce is pretty spicy. I’m wary of jalapeno poppers.
  • About average I guess. I like regular strength hot sauces like Tabasco but I wouldn’t go any hotter than that.
  • High. I seek out the “hotter” version of hot sauces.
  • Very high. At Indian restaurants I order the vindaloo and tell them to “make it like it’s for you.”
  • Extremely high. I’m confident I can handle it as spicy as you can make it.
  • Impenetrable. You can’t make it spicy enough for me. Many have tried, all have failed!
