I was bought up eating typical English food, so herbs but very little in the way of spices. My wife is a wonderfully talented cook (I'm not, I can burn water if I try to cook anything 😂), and she has been trying to very gradually increase the amount of spices she uses to build up my tolerance. It's slowly starting to work, but I'm a long way from being able to handle really spicy stuff......
My grandmother could burn water too! 🤣 She also one cooked a frozen pizza in the oven with the Styrofoam tray still underneath and I'll never forget the taste of that, even though she thought she'd managed to remove it all. She honestly wasn't too bad a cook most of the time, though. 🫣
Yeah she's truly talented because it really has to be gradual if you were not brought up eating spicy, some are even allergic to it and can cause some serious problems if they just had it too spicy for the first time. Lol to think you can burn water, ur cooking skills must be under zer0😁
