Will someone please set me straight? Thanks.
There are a number of terms that are ambiguous: "pitted," "seeded," "tangy," "spicy," etc. which need desperately to be codified so that they all refer to the same thing. (Please note all my references refer to food.)!
I buy pitted olives which have no pits but my daughter bought pitted cherries that had the pits in them! I have used tangy which burned my mouth...and I wouldn't even consider "spicy" unless it has no cayenne or other HOT stuff in it. My stomach just can't handle it!
