LOL, Ian, as a native Texan, my tastes run just the opposite. If you
can't taste it, it ain't worth eatin'. And for most of my family, the
hotter the better. Particularly the Thai food and Indian food. My
son's first table food was Thai green curry EXTRA HOT. It was by
accident, of course -- Mark thought he was giving him a bite of plain
rice, but the sauce had run under the rice. His eyes watered, he
blinked and smacked a lot and his face turned red. Then he opened up
his mouth for more. He was just under 2 years old. Our friends who
owned the restaurant laughed because, being Thai, they expected their
own son to eat Thai food, but he wouldn't touch the stuff. Ours has
been eating it ever since, and he eats it THAI HOT, which is hotter than
what they make in the restaurants. LOL
He also likes Habaņero sauce and Dave's Insanity.
But it took until he was 14 to get him to eat onions. Go figure.
