I've always loved hot and spicy food. It first started with that Jalopeno cheese Tortia dip.
My family and friends wonder how I can live, and not have any stomach problems with some of the food I eat on a regular basis. Of all the Cultural and regional foods I have eaten, I'd have to say Thai food is the hottest.
I love Thai food, the authentic stuff, not the americanized junk. Nothing even comes close to the intense heat. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
My question is, how many of you all are also Spicy Food junkies? Man, I put red pepper, or chillie's in everything I can. Hell, I've even bitten into a raw, fresh, Halbenaro before.
Now that was something else.......Ouch... 
The bad thing about Hot food is, You sure pay for it the next day......Arghh.
