wispfoxFoods spiced with pepper or hot peppers don't interact well with my body. They frequently induce coughing fits, because if they hit the back of my throat in the right way, instant irritation. This makes it very difficult for me to eat picante foods, completely ignoring that I don't _like_ having my mouth burning, and the fact that it tends to make me have indigestion.
What's annoying is when it sneaks up on me, and I don't realize that something I'm eating is going to try to bite me back. Then I get to have coughing fits and cause people to ask if I'm ok. Yeah, fine, just my food hates me...

And about horseradish? No idea!
Huh! Interesting... I like it, myself.

I don't like pain. Pain hurts.

Date: 2005-03-11 04:33 pm (UTC)That makes lots of sense. Makes me wonder if mine is slow, as well, or if I'm just too accustomed to the various types of distaste with which my body reacts to picante foods.
(Incidentally, if I thought I'd remember the word 'capsicum' or that enough people would understand it, that would be so much easier than saying 'picante, hot pepper-type spicy'. Then again, if more people understood 'picante', I'd be fine, as well)
Do you like wasabi?

Date: 2005-03-11 04:49 pm (UTC)Funny story... The first time I ate sushi, I was with the Sega QA department. We didn't call ourselves "QA" at the time, we were the "Software Testers". There were about twenty of us, crammed into the "private party" booth in the restaurant, and the waitress brought out pickled ginger, soy sauce, and what looked like guacamole. I popped the whole lump into my mouth.
It was about a minute before anyone noticed that I wasn't talking.
Or breathing.
I very carefully sipped water until the bulk of the Pain Paste washed away, then quaffed the glass, and three others within reach.

Oh, my...
I really have no response here, beyond sitting here blinking a lot. Wow. And ow!

And I note that most Mexican restaurants are very, very boring if one doesn't like spicy hot foods. Is why I tend to avoid them.

Date: 2005-03-13 06:34 pm (UTC)The only mexican restaurant I like so far is one that lets me have burrito with cheese, rice, olives, and sweet potatoes. is good. Chips, plain cheese quesadillas, and flan is also quite good though too.
