[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez, what is up with people calling OP [b]unrefined, immature[/b] and the like? If OP genuinely can't eat even mildly spicy food or else have a reaction, how is that OP's fault?? [b]And unrefined?[/b] As if eating certain foods makes you refined? What a joke.

OP, if you were my good friend, I would like to know your restrictions and would try to serve a few items that you could eat. [/quote]

I doubt Op actually has any kind of actual reaction to spicy or hot food. The reality is that if you eat nothing but plain rice, white bread and pasta - everything tastes spicy and everyone's mouth reacts to foods that are spicy for them. Ops body just reacts at a spice level of 1 because salt and peper are the only seasoning she has ever had. Other people whose palate has grown accustomed to much spicier food would have the same reaction OP has if the spice level was raised to an 8 lets say. There are spices that make everyone react. And hot food again burns everyone's tongue and mouth if it is hot enough - if OP has never eaten anything except room temperature food, then hot food is going to seem scorching. The body adjusts to what you give it. Just like vegetarians get sick when they go back to meat and anyone who goes off gluten or wheat will get very bloated and sick when they go back on it - if the body isn't used to something, it reacts. Same as when you travel, many people react to foods / beverages that locals eat with ease - the body just isn't used to those spices or foods.
