It is a completely diferent story here. Never, ever, ask, "is it spicy"?, because the answer will always be, "no", but the reality will always be yes. This is not a misunderstanding, or a product of the language barrier. In India, they have pallets that have grown so accustomed to the sometimes insanely spicy food, that are nearly immune to all but the highest levels of heat! As a result, in order for food to taste at all interesting, it must be ladden with spice. Simple.
I am proud of how far we have come down the path toward being broadminded with respect to a variety of food tastes. Even Taylor, the last hold out, has inched along!
There is virtually no food here in India which is free of spice. At least a little bit of spice. They even throw some heat into, brace yourself, CHOCOLATE!!!
