this is a serious questiondo non-white people have weaker tastebuds? why do they pour so much spice onto everything?
white people simultaneously like bland food and can't handle spice while also overspicing their food and being the main people attracted to excessively spicy hot sauce
>>22255873I think the so called whites in the US avoiding spicy foods is more of a cultural phenomenon, Europeans eat plenty of spicy food.
>calling it weaker when they can literally handle more flavour than white people can
>>22255880only a small selection of white people are into extremely spicy hot sauce
>>22255890anon, if your taste buds are stronger, then you have more sensitivity to spices. if your taste buds are weaker then you have a harder time tasting spices and can handle more of them
>>22255873Doesn't this place call Japanese food bland?
>>22255917they're honestly the only non-white people i can think of who are like this
>>22255873I’m pretty sure this is not the case lolthey use more spice because they’re used to it. that’s just what good food is to them. also american blacks generally eat pretty similarly to whites. they’re not eating some 1,000,000 scoville shit on a regular basis. they tap out somewhere around buffalo sauce just like your average white. They do add a shitload of garlic powder to everything though, because again, that’s what good food is to them.
>>22255917That's not a /ck/ thing. Japanese food has long been considered bland especially by other Asians. It's not really surprising they have a limited variety of flavoring considering they're an island nation. The primary flavor in Japanese food is salt and variations of salt.
The more spices something needs, the less food it is
>>22255941from what I understand nips are more into adding liquids for seasoning
>>22255943>The more spices something needsWhere did you got the idea something needs spices? Spices are just there to improve an already good flavor.>>22255941Everything that can be grown on Korean can be grown on Japan, tho.
>>22255949>Where did you got the idea something needs spices? Spices are just there to improve an already good flavor.some foods are so foodly that they need no spice whatsoever.you dont put spices on a banana before you eat it
>>22255926>they use more spice because they’re used to itwhy are they used to it? are those spices just native to their country or?
>>22255958>some foods are so foodly that they need no spice whatsoever.Again, what's the deal with this idea of "some foods needs spice some doesn't"? No food needs spice, some can be made better by adding the right spices to it. >you dont put spices on a banana before you eat itBanana compot gets a lot better with salt, cinammon and a bit of pepper.
>>22255958>you dont put spices on a banana before you eat itbananas foster is pretty tasty. a lot of food can taste fine without spices if it's prepared properly, ripe, fresh, etc. but it can still taste better with some spice when used too
>>22255968>Again, what's the deal with this idea of "some foods needs spice some doesn't"? No food needs spice, some can be made better by adding the right spices to it.because you cannot improve upon perfection.
>>22255978This anon is smart, he gets it.>>22255980This anon is not smart, he doesn't get it.
>>22255980Are you trying to say there are certain ingredients that don’t go with at least one spice?
>>22255986yes. and those foods are pefect as they are.
>>22255964how it started in the first place, I couldn’t tell you. but you grow up eating food like that and that’s what’s normal to you and then of course your kids grow up on spicy food too so the cycle never ends
>>22255990Can you give me one (1) example?
>>22255964You grow up eating it, it becomes your normal.
>>22255997pretty much any piece of fruit at peak ripeness
>>22256009So you're telling me that if I make jam from ripe fruit, it'll never be improved by spices?
>>22256012it has never occurred to me that people would season their jam
>>22256013Funny, I can't remember ever seeing jams without any spices. Amazing how cultures are different from each other.
>>22256012there's not a spice on earth that can improve upon strawberries. they can only make it worse, not better
>>22256017When making strawberrie jam, I like to add a bit of cinnamon and grated nutmeg.But I know people around here who add cinnamon sticks, star anise, whole cloves, cardamom pods, juniper berries. People more on the south often add basil, mint, or sage.People on the Northeast really adding chili peppers, but that's a whole different type of jam.Adding a bit of wine can also do some good.
>>22256017Will you believe if I tell I can tell where you are from by this post alone?
>>22256015the snark was not necessary you sarcastic bitch
>>22256020>grated nutmegWhy are you treating your nutmeg like cheese
>>22256028I'm not being sarcastic, every single jam I've seen around here is spiced in some way or another.
>>22256020>>22256020>When making strawberrie jam, I like to add a bit of cinnamon and grated nutmeg.that makes it worse
>>22256029Nutmeg oxidizes when it’s exposed to air, so you get a lot more flavor if you grate whole nutmegs right before using them.
>>22256031No, it doens't make it worse, it makes it more yuck for certain type of people.
>>22256012>>22255997what about grapes, cherries, mango?
>>22255873Assuming you’re referring to American blacks, they’re desensitized by a lifetime of shitty, high sodium dollar store food. It’s a tolerance that can be developed and lost over time.
>>22255923My grandmother is Kazakh. The blandness of Kazakh food puts Japanese food to shame. There's a dish my grandmother used to make where the only flavour was smoke: get meat. Get more meat. Get some more meat. Do you have any meat? Get some. And get salted smoke-dried meat. Put it all in a pressure cooker with carrot and onion. Boil it for 17 eternities. Depressurise. Add fresh made noodle things that aren't really noodles. Boil them. Serve. Eat it with your fucking hands and drink the fatty broth as you do. That's the highlight of Kazakh cooking outside of unsugared hollow doughnuts and actually good bread.There's also a fish version but being made of freshwater fish it, too, is bland
>>22256024You can't. Because I'm sure she and I aren't from the same place and I feel the same way. >>22256012Not her but yes. I don't find spice to improve jams. I've tried a few and each time, I just wanted normal, sugared-but-otherwise-unflavoured jam.
