Meanwhile, London is the spice capital of the UK, with eight in ten of those in the capital city saying they can handle the heat, research has found
Yorkshire folk are the biggest softies in Britain – when it comes to handling spicy food, according to a study.
The survey of 2,000 adults found Northern Ireland, the East of England, and the East Midlands, are also among the least tolerant of hot foods. Love Island star Wes said: "When it comes to food, I'm all about dishes with heat – extra hot curries, chillies in my spag bol. You name it, I’ll eat it. So, I’m buzzing to be part of a brunch that’s all about the bolder flavours. I look forward to bringing the heat with my set, too."
It also found 25 per cent are now more experimental when it comes to their spice tastes – but 39 per cent said while they enjoy it, they do have to take regular breaks if the food is very spicy.
