It is generally recognized that people in Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou and Jiangxi can eat Chili best. I read an article saying that the people who can eat Chili peppers best are Jiangxi people, but no authoritative organization or person has made a serious investigation. It's hard to say which of these provinces is the best to eat Chili. In fact, all provinces can eat Chili, but none can eat spicy food. Whether they can eat or not is relative, but things are not absolute.

When choosing a restaurant, many people will consider the degree of spicy food, and generally choose Hunan restaurant, because everyone knows that Hunan people are not afraid of spicy food. You can definitely eat spicy food in restaurants. Besides Hunan cuisine, there are restaurants such as Sichuan Hot Pot and kung pao chicken. These restaurants with local characteristics are very popular all over the country now. As locals, you can certainly eat spicy food.

So, in China, where are the people who eat Chili peppers?

First of all, I have to mention the habit of Hunan people to eat Chili, which is divided into salty, hot and sour levels, generally represented by dry pot dishes. But geographically, Shaoyang, Loudi, Changsha and Xiangxi in central Hunan are the places where Hunan can eat Chili.

Then there is the spicy taste of Sichuan people, and Bashu people pay attention to the taste of peppers in their dishes. The spicy taste is all in the red oil, which is the feeling of being cold, spicy and cold.

Hubei is also very spicy, among which Zhou Heiya is very representative. Local people eat spicy food between dry and spicy.

There are people in Guizhou who are used to making peppers into various spicy seasonings. Laoganma is a well-known pepper brand. The local spicy varieties are quite complete, some of which are unforgettable and reminiscent of stomach cramps.

People in Jiangxi eat special peppers because they use spicy pickled peppers. Many people say that Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province is the hottest place in the country, because they even put Chili in porridge stew, which tastes extremely heavy.

Finally, many people say that people in Guangxi can eat spicy food, because the Dong ethnic minority eats spicy food more strongly. But it is also limited to people of this ethnic group, because the spicy degree of Liuzhou snail powder and Guilin Chili sauce is sour and sweet plus pickling, which is not spicy at all.
