Sichuan pepper adds to the mouth-numbing sensation. Classic spicy dishes include mapo tofu, gong-bao chicken and dan-dan noodles. The supreme challenge is hotpot, which leaves you sweating for a week. Some say Hunan cuisine is even spicier, with the use of pickled chillies also liberal.

Chillies originated here, and get widespread use as an ingredient either roasted, smoked, dried, mashed or chopped raw. Smoky chilli powder and pickled jalape\u00f1os are used as condiments. Mexico also stands out for its variety, with over 100 types of chilli such as pablano, jalape\u00f1o, habanero and tabasco.

Berbere is inevitably used in the stews that are an Ethiopian staple, with the chicken-and-egg stew doro wat often the hottest if you&#8217;re after a challenge. Saut\u00e9ed vegetables, baked fish and minced-beef dishes also pack a punch.

Dishes that are spicy are however among the spiciest anywhere. The country&#8217;s famous and hugely popular jerk chicken uses virulent Scotch bonnet peppers, with additional heat coming from mustard, nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon. Goat curry is often off the heat scale too. Prodigious quantities of accompanying rice are advised.

A paste made from red chillies is an integral part of stews and other dishes, while other treats such as bibimbap are accompanied by mustard. Meanwhile kimchi side dishes are also studded with chilli, none more so than a hot stewed version called kimchi jjigae. Koreans have a liking too for pickled green chillies, often used to pockmark pancakes.

Shrimp, goat and peanuts stews are all exceptionally hot thanks to the addition of shito paste.

In Thailand, chillies are extravagantly used in dishes such as green curries, even spicier red curries and tom-yum soup, which uses super-hot bird&#8217;s eye chillies. The dry curry kua kling is another challenge and, yes, even salads are loaded with heat. Beware the northeast Isaan region, which ratchets up the chilli yet another notch.

You can find hot dishes across the country \u2013 Rajasthani laal maas from the northwest is fiery \u2013 but dishes tend to get hotter the further south you go.

Less well known is the Peruvian liking for chillies, especially the aji variety, made into a ubiquitous sauce. One of the hottest dishes is the salad-like Huancayo-style potatoes, whose misleadingly mild-looking yellow sauce blows your socks off. Even the raw seafood dish ceviche can be spicy and is often accompanied by an even spicier leche de tigre marinade.
