From korma to vindaloo and all things spicy, Just Eat has created an interactive heat map that lets you compare towns all over the UK and drill down to see the hottest location near you.
In East Sussex, the spiciest town is Brighton and Hove with 14.21% of orders containing at least one chilli symbol, the rating guide used by restaurants to indicate heat levels of a dish.

- Mid Ulster
- Newry Mourne and Down
- Stockport

The data was gathered by analysing over 30 million orders that contained at least one chilli symbol, the heat rating used by restaurants on Just Eat. To adjust for population size, the data was then processed per capita to understand the true density of spicy dishes per location.
