Is this sentence awkward? Please read this: I think that Yupki Tteokbokki is much hotter. You might cry if you are really poor at eating spicy food lol. Is the second sentence strange? Thanks!Yupki Tteokbokk is a food.

You might cry if you are not used to eating spicy food lol.

"really poor at eating" is really strange. Eating is not a skill, so "good at" or "poor at" is not a good expression for it.

I would recommend saying "I think that Yupki Tteokbokki is very hot. It might make you cry if you aren't used to eating spicy food."
