Lol so my take on the Children's Menu Discourse is that I've always found "culinary diplomacy" kind of weirdly condescending at best -- like the best thing about other cultures is what they can sell you for you to literally consume -- and yeah people are taking it way too far

Anyway, I mean, my mom has a very sensitive palate, she has never been able to tolerate food with even very small amounts of heat -- not even black pepper -- and she also prefers it to be very lightly salted She is not, I assure you, the least bit white

(And she's been this way since before she immigrated, and in countries without white people, nobody thinks of this as a "white thing" Some people just can't handle heat and some people just have tender stomachs It's fine)

I think my version of this is that I like my food wildly oversalted, like really really salty, and unlike with capsaicin nobody actually turned this into a "toxic masculinity" meme like "Oh he's just saying that to prove what a badass he is", so it's just weird

I reached full maturity when I started ordering Thai dishes medium hot because at hot-hot the heat overwhelmed the taste. And I didn't need to go to eleven, this wasn't a competition.

Only for delivery. If I order medium spice in person they assume I’m ordering “medium for white people” and it ends up too mild.

IPAs have great flavors (I love the citrusy ones) and often have a much higher alcohol content than other types.
