    I once saw a post where the guy said he was from Minnesota and he thought ketchup was too spicy.

    I wanted to burn the heretic.

      It’s definitely too strong a (sweet) flavor for me, but I just dislike adding sweet sauce to savory things. I also find barbecue and teriyaki sauce unpleasant for the same reason.

      Chilies and spices are fine by me though, and tbf, I wouldn’t ever describe ketchup as spicy.

          Maybe it is spicy ketchup or something? I don’t know. People who judge others’ spice tolerance belong in prison.

            I agree. But if I give you table sugar and you tell me it’s spicy, then that’s not a question of spice tolerance. You just don’t know what the word spicy means.

            Although, come to think of it, if you think ketchup is spicy, you may want to check if you’re allergic to one of the ingredients. Regular ketchup is absolutely not spicy.

              I mean, yeah, obviously sugar isn’t spicy, but that’s because there are no spices in it. Ketchup is made with spices and is tangy from vinegar. So you never know how people perceive it.

        Yes, people in my culture often speak about the foods they enjoy.

        Funny story. As a kid I’d laugh at my father, because he put black pepper on everything.

        Today I have about nine different hot sauces on my spice rack.

          If only it were actually “people often speak about the foods they enjoy” and not “you’re a weakling I love spicy everything’s spicy fuck not spicy” which is the reality for most morons.

            That’s an unexpected bonus from living in a multicultural area.

            The Asian and South American places serve truly hot food. The posers know not to ask for it ‘extra spicy.’
