spicy food
Chili-laden dishes
Spicy food contains ingredients that produce a hot, burning sensation in the mouth—chili peppers, black pepper, ginger, horseradish.
The heat comes from chemical compounds like capsaicin that trigger pain receptors.
I can't handle spicy food, Thai cuisine tends toward spicy food.
Tolerance varies widely; what's mild to one person is unbearable to another.
