It all depends on where you was raised and how you was raised. My late wife and I were invited out to dinner by an Indian family from India and their children were dipping their tortilla chips in this salsa and eating it like it was candy. I tried a chip and took a large dip of this salsa and I felt like Ray Stevens felt for sure. It tool almost all afternoon for the burn to go away. I can stand hotter now but not then.
You just reminded me of a thing like that from my past. I went to Topeka to a coaches' clinic with a couple of other guys from our school back in the early 70s. One of them wanted nothing but Mexican food and the other just wouldn't eat anything in a restaurant other than fried chicken. We went to a great Mexican place for supper and got some guacamole dip as an appetizer. The chicken man was so happy with that stuff till I told him to get his nose close and see how much it smelled like something he didn't like. He didn't eat another dip and the next night at one of the best Chinese places in the world he ordered fried chicken. I guess when it smells like sewer gas it takes away all like from some.
