I've never understood the fascination that so many Americans seem to have with "spicy" food, especially these so-called hot sauces from Mexico. I've always viewed it as shitty and unhealthy third-world stuff. I mean, it does exist here in Europe too since you can find it in stores, but it's still pretty unusual and has never been part of our traditional European cuisine.

Google's AI says that India, Thailand, Mexico, and China's Sichuan region are globally famous for serving the spiciest food in the world. So to me it really seems like a third-world thing. Apparently, this spicy food/hot sauce tradition was adopted by white Americans, but not by us here in Europe. I guess that's why I find it weird.
