>>9348118>What's the appeal of spicy food? I get some mild spice, but when the entire dish tastes the same, like hot, what is the appeal?It's about intensity in sensation and in life. Living with the volume up. You'll notice that spicy foods tend to flourish in warmer climates that have an abundance of fruits and vegetables. With so much sunshine, it's possible to go after big flavors and large sensations in food. In contrast, in the ice lands of the north, food tends to be bland and culture tends to be more ascetic. In these frozen territories, people lose the protective melanin in their skin and also incline toward ascetic belief systems (like Calvinism) that involve denial, pain, mortification of the flesh, and self-flagellation. Dance is often very limited in developed and music is less rhythmically complicated. In keep with this puritanical aesthetic, food in frozen worlds tends to be low in flavor, limited in fresh ingredients, and lacking overall in luxuriant sensuality.
