[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You realize that is the whole point of hot spice?  To mask the flavor of the spoiled food underneath.  Think it is a coincidence that hot and spicy developed in hot climates?[/quote]

Not. Chilies were used for their spice and flavor but also because it kept the food from spoiling. not to mask the flavor of spoiled food.[/quote]

No. Partly to mask it. [/quote]

Nope.  Spices are expensive and were only affordable to rich people who did not need to eat spoiled food.[/quote]

Oh, spices were certainly used to help mask the flavor of rotting or spoiling food. It was one of its many uses, along with enhancing the flavor of the food. [/quote]

It was actually because chilis grow best in hot climates. Cold climates, no chilis. People cooked with what they had on hand.

And you are wrong, spices do not mask anything. They are natural antibicrobials. Thry prevent spoiliage. They are nature's medicine, not nature's mask.[/quote]
