Why are foods spicy to certain people?

514 viewsOther

My fiancé *LOVES* spicy food, and a lot of other foods I don’t like, which is fine, but we were talking a few days ago and I told him I thought bell peppers were spicy, he laughed and said, “They’re not spicy? What do you mean?” Which made me contemplate everything I’ve ever known. Am I just broken?

You’re not broken, but you might be allergic to bell peppers. There was a well-known post a while back about a fellow who thought his whole life that bananas were spicy, turns out he was allergic. I was the same way with ginger, I’d be like, I love the way ginger makes your tongue and mouth tingle and go numb! It is not meant to do that. I am allergic to ginger.
