Why do people of color love spicy?

[Anonymous No.13198551]

Even american blacks, african blacks and even european blacks all seem to love mexican and spicy food.

I just wonder why since im pretty sure none of those countries are known for spicy food.

I can understand south americans like spicy foods, and south asians. But why do black people like it so much?

Genuinely curious.

Also
Is there some food white people love that black people dont understand?

There's actually a reasonably scientific explanation for this. Nonwhite peoples tend to hail from hotter climes, and in hotter climates food tends to spoil more quickly. Strong spice then, serves two purposes. First, it masks the taste of food that has gone off, but secondly it also kills some of the bacteria that lead to food spoiling in the first place.

Combine that with the fact that chilli and most spices don't originate in Europe, you tend to see a very large divide in the cuisine. European food actually makes really good use of the seasoning that was actually available at the time (salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, etc) and relies more heavily on meat and fats for flavour.

Black pepper is native to Africa and was rare in Europe for centuries. Also the “lol dumb colored folks eat rotten food” meme is a lie spread by assmad racists. Spoilage was a problem everywhere and people tended to deal with it through preservation methods such as salting, drying, smoking, pickling, and fermenting. Meat was either cooked immediately after slaughter or preserved in some way. The presence of spices in cuisines is based solely on what was available to the people who created it.

My brown friend who's now my roommate always used to talk about his food being so spicy and probably too pungent for others. I split a habanero between the two of us in a dish and he started sweating trying to coach me not to put so much heat in. The idea that they have more flavorful foods is part of their made up identity and something that brings them comfort.

This is...a strange take. I do not believe people of African descent enjoy spicy foods more with any particular fervor. I know several black people who in fact do not enjoy such foods, and have viewed videos of black people (along with people of other ethnicities) trying particularly spicy hot foods and quite obviously not enjoying them.

Could it be that everyone is in fact an individual and not every single person belonging to a racial or ethnic demographic is going to like everything the same?

I for instance and white and happen to enjoy spicy foods. On the other hand I do know people of Latin American and Asian descent who do not. Food for thought.

I wouldn’t even consider myself someone who enjoys spicy food and I’m pretty sure I can handle it better than niggers. I had a black friend in high school who bragged about eating ghost chili peppers raw for fun, so I told him I would try one. When I ate the whole pepper he was fucking shocked because apparently eating one to him meant just putting a tiny piece on your tongue. My little sister is a freak for spicy food though, and so my house always had mrs renfros ghost pepper salsa as our only salsa and I eventually got used to it, that super spicy taste is actually a different experience compared to lesser degrees of spiciness I’ll say that, makes your mouth taste like a mixture of vinegar and blood and like it was just full of ice.

It's got nothing to do with ethnicity, just personal preference whether the effect of spiciness is pleasant and then tollerance from how much and how often you eat it.

I grew some ghost peppers last year and the first one totally blew my socks off, but it was a bumper crop and I started eating them regularly and by the end of the season they didn't even seem that hot any more. After a few months though I found some in the store and they were hot again. It's like a tollerance to anything, you experience it a lot and your body adapts.

Simple, tougher cuts of meat & week old vegetables require alot of spices to make it taste palatable. You don't want to eat old food raw & with little seasoning. In India, this is the reason why our foods are "heavy" in flavor.

Not all nations can afford fresh, raw sushi or steaks that taste good fresh, with minimal seasoning.

The more developed the country, the fresher & less seasoning they have on their foods.

Spice does have anti microbial yes but it was never used as a main preservation method for food preservation. Salting, pickling, fermentation and drying has always and will always be the kind of food preservation.

Adding to that the costs of spices made the use of spice as a food preservative prohibitively expensive

Spices CAN be used in food preservation but historically the main use of spice had mainly been used for tastes and the anti-oxidant compound more than anything.

So in conclusion saying spices was used to preserve food and mask tastes of rotting meat is wrong and retarded
