    Being the only spice tolerant person in my family kind of sucks. Whenever I try to get a family member to try something new, the first question they ask is whether it’s spicy. I literally cannot even detect mild heat anymore and have several times accidentally given the okay on things they then couldn’t finish.

      God I feel this. My mother told me once to be careful not to make my eggs too spicy by adding too much black pepper.

      I’ve made food that I thought was literally flavorless and been told it was too spicy to finish. So, now when I cook for family I actually just don’t add any seasonings and I point them to the cabinet. “You’re not gonna like most of what you find in there, but there’s at least some butchers blend you should be able to handle”
