"Ketchup too spicy" is an expression like saying "vanilla ice cream too hot". "Black pepper too spicy" is very real. And its not just boomers its mostly anyone with Swedish ancestry.

Miracle Whip is also too is too zesty for them. So you can say "mayo too spicy".

You joke but when I was a line cook I once had a dish sent back for being too spicy, and yes it was just black pepper.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

honestly you gotta feel bad for someone like that, imagine how incredibly bland their food experience was as a kid

Sorry I miss placed my quotes. I wasn't joking about black pepper. I meant to say "black pepper too spicy" is very real.

I was once told I use too many spices when I added more than three, the first two were salt and pepper.

Look up the origin of "deviled eggs" (paprika considered spicy lmao)

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

The word “devil” as applied to food first appears in 1786, when it was used to describe a “(highly seasoned) fried or boiled dish”

hm okay spicy i see

The eggs are boiled, cooled, shelled, and then sliced in half. The yolk is then removed and mixed with other ingredients, such as mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, pickle relish, and other spices and herbs. It is then blended into a smooth paste which is used to fill the hollowed-out egg whites. They are generally served cold and are often dusted with paprika.

i-cant

Maybe back then they only had "spicy" mustard? Even still when I looked that up one day just out of curiosity I found that definition and found it very very funny.

Pickle, vinegar, and mustard could definitely combine for an extremely powerful flavor profile if they were the right kind. "Other spices and herbs" is doing a lot of lifting here too.
