hi guys,

you know, in most chinese people's eyes, foreigners will never get used to hot and spicy foods. some foreiners said that waiters in hot spot restaurants always presented them non spicy initial stock of a chafing dish without asking their tastes. for chinese cuisine, hot pepper is indispensable, such as Sichuan dishes. as we know, Sichuan Province has gained a worldwide renown for spicy foods. have you tried any?? can you really endure the inducing of these spicy table delicacies?? have a try

I love spicy food, but did not have much of it on my last trip.

Hey Exlife, you obviously don't live in Guandong! If only it were true that "chillies are indispensible in Chinese cuisine". You can get snake and insects but oh for some really tasty food with fried dried chillies in it! And let's not equate spicy with hot as there are many delicious spices that are not hot.

Hi Exlife, as Apault said "let's not equate spicy with hot as there are many delicious spices that are not hot". I fully agree with that. If you are only thinking about Sichuan hot and spicy food, then you have not tried other not hot but spicy food. Cantonese cooking do use a lot of spices in certain dishes which bring out and compliment the taste of the food. Hunan food is hot but not spicy. Try some authentic Indian food, they are spicy but not hot and you can taste the various spicy used. Curries from South East Asia are very tasty with the right amount of spices and chillies.
