Can a food be spicy but not hot?
I was thinking about Szechuan peppercorns. They have a unique spicy flavor but not the same kind of heat as chili peppers.
Absolutely. Szechuan peppercorns provide a tingly, numbing sensation rather than the intense heat of chili peppers. This is a great example of a food that's spicy but not hot.
