Examples from texts

He said he wished he could have attended the inquest, for he reckoned it would be about as spicy as to read one's own obituary notice.
Il regrettait de n'avoir pu assister à l'enquête, car il eût trouvé cela aussi savoureux que de lire son propre billet de mort.

When you say to 'em later, if you live to say it, 'We were on a night job and we got shelled and we were very nearly drowned in mud,' they'll say, 'Ah!' And p'raps they'll say. 'You didn't have a very spicy time on the job.'
Quand tu diras plus tard, si t’es encore vivant pour placer ton mot : « On a fait des travaux d’nuit, on a été sonnés, pis on a manqué s’enliser », on répondra : « Ah ! » ; p’têt’ qu’on dira : « Vous n’avez pas dû rigoler lourd pendant l’affaire. »

Although I know nothing about books, it's brave to do that, because it isn't usually done, and it'll be spicy if you dare do it—but you'll find it hard when it comes to it, you're too polite.
Quoique je ne m’y connais pas en livres : c’est courageux, ça, parce que ça s’fait pas, et ce sera très chic si tu l’oses, mais t’auras de la peine au dernier moment, t’es trop poli !…

She felt within her also a tendency to somnolence, the somnolence of satiety, as if she had feasted too copiously off some spicy dish, after too great a hunger.
D’ailleurs, c’était, en elle, une sorte de somnolence repue, quelque nourriture dont elle se serait trop rassasiée, après avoir eu trop faim.
