There was a Mexican restaurant near me (now, sadly, out of business) that had a range of hot sauces on a wall, ranging from "Sweet" to appropriately named "Anal Damage." I tend to shy away from those.
My Canadian blood is heavily influenced by English, and my Very Proper English grandmother taught me the basics of cooking and eating. To this day I still eat with my left hand - the proper way - and avoid most spices at all costs. The exception is spiced coffee, which I cannot get enough of.
I have a very bland palette.
Gawd, anal damage? I think I'd avoid that hot sauce for sure.
I know people like you who call pepper spicy! Lol. It's all good though, we have different likes and dislikes, it doesn't mean anything. I'd ensure there was plenty of bland food at the BBQ if you were coming. 😳😊
Well, don't get me wrong. I do enjoy a good spiced coffee, and I've been known to be crazy enough to grind pepper onto eggs and throw some extra cinnamon into french toast batter. Living the crazy life here! 😂
Lol, yeah it seems you're very adventurous after all!
It's no big deal though, we're all different and have our individual likes and dislikes. I don't like hot food touching my cold food on my dinner plate. Yet, am happy to eat cold custard on hot apple pie, or cold salad stuff in a burger for instance Weird? Probably.
I don't like eating super hot foods as it tends to take away the flavour of the food too much for me, but some heat is acceptable. I'm more about taste and flavour.
