I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

So thaaaat's why I don't like spicy food

[rehmwa 2]

correlation instead of causation maybe?


1 - most spicy foods have backgrounds from poorer, less affluent historical backgrounds. (i.e., very spicy covers the taste of food going bad)..... even in those cultures, you find the 'high end' dishes to be more mild and subtler than the regular populace menu.....

2 - rough times and poverty will evolve more aggressive males as a survival mechanism


I'm not surprised at this type of observation anyway
