    I don't care for anything that is hot. Burns my tongue. Now my hubby is the complete opposite. Even the smell of his plate makes my eyes water. Any red food (goulash, spagetti sloppy joes) he drounds it with tobasco! YUCK! But he likes it.

    I am not so bad with pepper ,but I hate all the salt that is added. I never cook with it myself, and when someone says that something is well seasoned, I can't eat it.

    I also can't eat peppers (the vegetable) - does terrible things to my digestion.
    in my house, "well seasoned" means covered in herbs. I hardly use salt at all when cooking. And if the recipe calls for salt, I usually use about half of what they say (unless baking) but the only thing I put salt on is french fries from fast food places when I go there about once a year and then I use only half or less a packet.

    But I use pepper, not a lot but my dad always puts more on.

    Watch out! You might be on your way to becoming allergic to black pepper. This is how I started. I am most likely actually allergic to the fungus that grows on the outside shell of the black pepper. Think IBS, shaking, cramping and profuse cold sweat. I can not eat antyhing unless I make it. I can not eat anything that has touched food that has balck pepper or been fried in the same oil. I do believe black pepper use has been on the upswing. It used to be offered at the table freshly ground in restaurants but now it is normally already added. Anything labeled with spice in the store I need to avoid because that usually means pepper. I can handle some hot sauce etc. I am not allergic to spicy food just black pepper.

    I noticed that too especially with men cooks. Many seem to pride themselves on how much pepper they can put on it. It is imposible to take off. Let people season and salt their own.

    I love pepper, black, white, red..doesn't matter, but I'm spare with salt. =My DH took me to a wonderful tapas restaurant a couple of days ago and the food was so salty it took away from the overall yumminess of the meal. I'd never had beef and octopus so tender that it melted.

    I love pepper. My sister (who used to have no problem using it) cannot have too much of it nowadays as it triggers some kind of allergic reaction to it.

    I like pepper, but no salt. DH loves adding tons of salt when he cooks, and I usually wind up eating about 1 forkful. Don't like salt at all.
