Who said that, the parent or the server?
They’re both thinking it either way.
Side note, we never fed my kid anything that wasn’t what the rest of us were having for dinner. He’s a good (non picky) eater, but we did accidentally give him the hotter portion of some Indian food when he was 2, and he’s only recently started enjoying spicier foods again 5 years later. Spicy Mexican never bothered him though oddly, just curries.
Haha, been there. My kiddo snuck a tortilla chip from my wife’s lunch that had been sitting in ghost salsa when she was around 4 or 5. And when she was a little older she stole a slice of homemade pizza that had ghost peppers on it.
Literal trial by fire.
Jeez, ghost peppers and the like are just torture. We only went to like level 3 Indian spice and siracha/chulua hot with the little tike. He’s coming around and likes spicy mustard (like cheap Chinese style), and hot chili powder meals. Not quite red pepper flakes unless they’re sparsely on pizza crust.
I love ghost, it’s a nice slow-rolling heat that builds in intensity and stays with you for a while. Unlike habanero, which hits you hard and fast, ghost sneaks up on you, so you can pace yourself to your tolerance even though the heat is very high.
But I’m also a spice head, so take that with a grain of salt. My kiddo will eat jalapeño and occasionally Serrano level but she doesn’t eat like Mom and I.
It’s weird how kids get accustomed to how a food should look and how that affects its taste to them.
There was a study where scientists wrapped home made hamburgers in McDonald’s wrappers and the same hamburgers in similar but unbranded wrappers and asked which tasted better. McDonald’s wrappers won.
Dude, read your own link. Hamburgers were literally the only item where the McDonalds wrapper didn’t win.
And the hamburgers weren’t homemade, they were from McDonalds.
This is how bullshit gets spread on the internet. People read like two words and then make the rest up.
