Stopped eating hot food a few decades ago. In many cases (mine for instance) it’s for the young. In some dishes I genuinely miss it like chili, tacos and linguini with calamari fra diavolo. But I don’t miss the pain.
I take a Pepcid a day.
I can’t eat hot food either. I get an infection in my gut. Wish that didn’t happen.
You don’t miss the pain and I don’t miss getting hives.
Can’t eat any kind of peppers no matter how good they are for some.
I put a dash of chili powder in the oatmeal cookie recipe I use to make four dozen at a time, with raisins. It improves the flavor without noticing any chili taste. When I was a young boy. I made and sold poatmeal cookies at a local general store. I used my grandmother’s recipe and her kitchen. she always put a dash of chili powder into the mix, when she combined the dry ingredients.
