Does your toddler like spicy foods?

just curious really, cos my 21 month old has always loved spicy food since about 9 months old when i gave him a little taste of my chicken passanda (thats a mild dish admittedly) the other day i was eating a extra hot pepperami (the black one not the red one, the black one is the spiciest one!) unhealthy i know! anyway my son was moaning for a bit so i gave him a tiny taste thinking that'd put him off but he loved it and ate half of the pepperami! he loves chilli too! anyone elses toddler the same?

Answer:
my 7 year old son and my 2 year old daughter will both eat an Indian meal....

When they were babies I used to give them mildly spicy food so they had a varied pallet

It seemed to work, my son will eat the pepperami's as well (I won't even eat them lol)
My 4 year old likes jalapenos, etc., her grandmother is Mexican and feeds her spicy stuff and she loves it.
my sister used to love hot spicy food when she was that age and used to love vindaloo!
My 2 year old loves salsa. People used to give me strange looks when I would take him to a Mexican restaurant and let him eat the chips and salsa; he's done that since he was a year old and loves it.
yes 2 out of my 3 sons have always loved spicy food since they have been toddlers .. my youngest son prefers much blander foods ...
I haven't got one but my friend's daughter loves spicy food so much that when she'd be here she would eat chicken smothered in hot sauce with my brother and just love it. It all started when I used to stick my finger into hot sauce in put it in her mouth when she was about 9 months old.
YES, MY LITTLE UN EATS PEPPERS, PEPPERAMI YOU NAME.
Yes, both of my children have loved spicy food e.g Indian and Mexican dishes since they were toddlers.
I work with small children in your sons age group and I have to say that you'd be amazed what foods children take to. One of my moms hadded me some kind of chip that i knew was spicy- I just didn't know the extent of how spicy it was! I canhandle spicy so it surprised me that i almost died when i couldn't fin water. Her 28 mont old son howeve put me to shame by taking the spicy chip, for the first time, and eating it. He thought for a moment, his mother worried as i was, and then fell on the floor screaming MINE!when she wouldn't give him more. 2 hours later I saw the child walking away happily with his chips in tow. I have many more stories like this.
Yes my son loves Mexican food. His baby sitter is mexican and she makes all these fabulous things for him. I thought it would be too spicey...but now I have to kick it up a notch because he doesn't like the bland stuff I was cooking for him.

Last night we had fajitas! He loves them.
My 2nd daughter LOVED anything spicy she would go into a frenzy if she had the slightest smell of chili,curry etc. Even now 13 years on shes a spice freak loves the stuff
My 16 month old has always loved curries and chili con carne!
Also she likes bombay mix
yes, my son (2) loves spicy food too, isn't that funny
Yep my little boy is partial to a chilli or two.he loves anything spicy.gets it off his mummy i think...(cravings during pregnancy!) just a shame about the aftermath.phew!
She's 3.5 now. Doesn't like spicey food at all. She likes celery and sprouts though. I count my blessings there :-)
I got caught out teh same way, and my 2 year old daughter likes spicy things.

But I have noticed that only if I'm eating it, or if its from my plate she will eat it. If you actually gave him something spicy as part of his meal, he prob wouldnt touch it.
My son is now 5 and adores spicy foods, especially anything with garlic in, he also loves Chinese. He will not eat anything unless it has a spicy sauce or gravy with it. When he was a baby and didnt have any teeth, he used to gum on Chinese spare ribs
