I think there is a real misconception about Indian food being super spicy. And I know that's because when you go into an Indian restaurant, it is pretty spicy. But it doesn't have to be. In fact, my husband can't handle a lot of heat. I've had to temper my cooking so that he can eat with me.

A good spicy challenge strikes a balance between flavour and fear.
Adam Richman
For me, Hyderabad was all about summer holidays, rasam rice, spicy pickles, and more.
Aditi Rao Hydari
I am not into spicy foods. Big Red chewing gum is even too 'hot' for me.
Ainsley Earhardt

Alessandra Ambrosio
I like all of McClure's pickles, but my personal favorites are the spicy ones.
Alex Guarnaschelli
I really love Indian food, especially if you can get it spicy. Any food you can get spicy I really love, and Indian food is just so flavorful: a lot of onion, a lot of garlic.
Andrew W.K.
I had to give up a lot of foods that I'm accustomed to eating: dairy products, beer, wine, spicy food.
Arnel Pineda
It's like spicy food - sometimes you have to tone it down so more people can enjoy it.
Babyface
The song 'Stick'? That needed to be chunky and sexy. It's human. It's human to be the girl in 'Stick' and feel spicy as heck.
Banks
People may not know this about me, but I've always loved cooking. My favorite thing to cook is my mom's spicy spaghetti.
Becky G
When you get to a certain age in society, they want to dictate to you when you should pack it in and that you should mentally grab a cane, a box of Depends, Geritol, listen to the oldies, and not eat spicy food after 9 o'clock.
Bernard Hopkins
We Houstonians are a spicy lot. We raise our babies with tongues of fire, mostly lit by chips and salsa. Our blood is as thick and warm as queso.
Beth Moore
They may be small, but microgreens are intensely flavorful, ranging from sweet to spicy to tart to sour.
Brad Leone
In America they like my spicy TV alter ego, probably because there were a lot of Italians and Hispanics in the country, but the real L.A. life is a hard-working one.
Bruno Tonioli
Me and my mom are pretty cool. My mother's Caribbean, and she gets a little spicy, and I get a little spicy back.
Cardi B
I know how I like my food. I like it spicy, salty, sticky, crunchy, juicy, oozy - basically any dish you know and love, jacked up to a bordering-on-socially-unacceptable amount of flavor.
Chrissy Teigen
I lick the cheese off Doritos and put them back in the bag. I will eat pretty much anything as long as it's salty. Or sweet. Or spicy.
I am an extremely adventurous eater and an avid lover of spicy food.
Chunky Pandey
In my travels, I also noticed that kids in Thailand like spicy food, and kids in India love curry. I'm hoping to introduce my son, Hudson, to lots of veggies and spices when he's young. I say that before he's started on solid foods, so it could be easier in theory than practice!
Curtis Stone
I love spicy food.
My favorite time of day is to get up and eat leftovers from dinner, especially spicy food.
I love spicy food, love it. But wasabi is just painful.
People ask me all the time, 'What keeps you up at night?' And I say, 'Spicy Mexican food, weapons of mass destruction, and cyber attacks.'
I know I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to spicy foods.
I also have a soft spot for spicy chicken wings. They are always best eaten at dives and sports bars, like Wogie's in the West Village, New York City, near my house.
I look at a basketball laying on the ground, and it makes me think of something. Popcorn ball. How 'bout a spicy popcorn ball? That is how my mind is always working.
My mother was born in Burma, but my grandfather on her side was Indian-Spanish. So I have this quite exotic mix, which is reflected in my earliest memories, in our Wiltshire country kitchen, of gran, and aunts, cooking spicy stewy, casseroley curries, a version of Indian food with a Burmese twist.
The hardest is foods I am not familiar with. Gyros, I lost that one; I don't like tzatziki sauce very much. I did kimchi in Korea, which was rough: fermented cabbage and spicy.
Louisiana's spicy, colorful politics have saddled our state with a reputation for tolerating lax ethical standards in government.
My standard Nando's order is a chicken breast burger served 'medium,' which is still fairly spicy.
Many foreigners imagine that Latin American cuisine is spicy, but Chilean food, on the whole, is extremely bland: salt, vinegar, mayonnaise, and more salt are the four basic condiments. Black pepper is conspicuously absent, and not only from the food - it is also rarely available even on request.
I can't go spicy. It's just not in my taste buds. So I'll avoid the jalapenos, but I'll go cheese - and honestly, I would say pork is a little better than chicken with nachos.
I only eat spicy food.
I love spicy food, so I'm not sure why I have this aversion to wasabi, but I really detest it.
Most people don't know that I'll eat anything spicy. A little extra kick is always a good thing!
What I love is Mexican hot chocolate, like a spicy hot chocolate - adding cayenne pepper to the Hershey's cocoa and making a spicy-sweet treat.
To see two couples that are battling to make it work just shows that love is in a marriage, but there are also trials and things that you have to make it through and showing women and men how to keep it spicy.
I had to train myself to like spicy foods as I got older because they weren't a part of my upbringing at all.
I'm trying to lead a good Christian life, so there ain't too much spicy to tell about me.
There's nothing like simple spicy egg bhurji.
I make an awesome soup with coconut milk and shrimps; it takes me five hours to prepare the whole thing. It does become very spicy, but you can definitely taste all the ingredients.
Trying mirchi vada was like an achievement for me as it's too spicy!
Between the ages of six and nine, my palette was taking shape as well as my identity as a chef. It was then that I learned the difference between salty, sweet, sour and even spicy.
One thing my fans don't know about me is how much I love guacamole! But it has to be a little chunky and just a little bit spicy.
I'm a fairly traditional British cook, as my partner Cathy doesn't enjoy spicy food, although I like to experiment myself.
From a young age, I understood the idea of balanced flavor - the reason you put ketchup on a hamburger. I was that kid who wouldn't eat something if there was something missing. I never really understood it until I began cooking professionally, balancing acids, sweets, spicy flavors and fat.
They say Latina women are spicy. But we are more than that. We have power, and we run things.
I love cooking and eating - I'm a total foodie. It started off as a survival thing as a student, when cheese and potato pie was all I could afford to make. My most successful results come from concocting something with leftovers. Any chef will tell you that you should taste as you cook, so I might make it a bit more spicy, yogurty or eggy.
I think Nina Simone has had an amazing journey. She was spicy and she had attitude and she didn't care, she wanted her money in a paper bag and don't mess with me and I've been doing some research on that so.
