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!
I agree 100%! It can be so confusing. No wonder they say English is one of the hardest languages to learn.

Also, I'm with you on the hot, spicy, tangy stuff. I don't like any of it. It burns my mouth, tongue, lips, makes me sweat and takes away my breath. Then I get heartburn. What's the fun in that? I don't think my food should hurt me!

Once I asked a waitress if their "mild" salsa was hot and spicy and she said, "Oh, no, no". So I tried it and it about blew my head off! But my 8-yr. old granddaughter loved it and the waitress had to bring another bowl of it to our table!

I guess we are in the minority as so many people seem to love it so much. Chefs say to cut out the veins and seeds of the chile pepper and you won't get the heat, just the flavor of the pepper. Wrong! (They have flavor?)
My late husband teased me all of the time, because I told him if anything was spicier than catsup he could keep it.
