For people who love eating teekha khaana, it’s not variety that is the spice of your life, it’s spice itself. Just like there are several people who call themselves lovers of anything sweet, there’s another bunch of people who always need some extra chilli to go on with their lives.
Following are the signs of a spicy-food enthusiast:
1. What other people find spicy, you only find regular in taste
*Meh*
2. You always make sure you add a little extra spice to all the food you eat
Thank God for chilli vinegar and pepper.
3. Be it any kind of food, you make sure you have a few pieces of chillies by your side
4. You always take a few extra packets of hot sauce from stalls or restaurants for your food
5. Before you make a decision on where to eat, you make sure they have a good variety of spicy food
6. While trying to choose from a menu card, your eyes immediately go to the items marked with 2 or more chillies on the side
Extra spicy, extra yum.
7. You cannot understand how people love eating regular food, which is downright bland to you
There is NOTHING spicy in this, man.
8. You hate when people mistake spicy food for tangy food
Just because something is red in colour, it doesn’t mean it’s spicy. 🙁
9. You’ve taken the chilli eating challenge and you have proved your prowess
Enough said.
10. That feeling you get when you take a bite of a nice green chilli along with your wada pav is indescribable
11. Chaat and other street food is incomplete without you making it spicy
Sukhi puri? Nope. I’m good.
12. When you’re cooking, you have to make sure you cut down on the spice you use
And more often than not, you forget.
13. You feel a little sense of superiority when people around you can’t take in as much spice as you can
You’re having a wonderful time when all your friends are tearing up eating the food.
14. Cuisines that have more spice in it (like our Indian cuisine) happen to be your instant favourites
Bring it on, Mexico!
15. Before you end a meal with something sweet, you make sure you eat something really spicy before
And sometimes, you don’t need dessert because spice is the way to go. 😀
