No one is surprised that people in tropical climates like spicy foods, or that people near the Mediterranean like olive oil while people further north like butter. People's tastes adapt to what they have. That's a great thing about us. Now, we're a society with very cheap computing power. It's no surprise that we grow to like the foods such a society makes.
- posterboy 9y agohow is spicy food the only thing the tropic has? I always thought it preserved the food better.
- comicjk 9y agoI didn't mean "what they have" in an exclusive sense. Tropical regions have access to spices and a reason to use them, as you said, so the people get to like them more than people elsewhere. Of course they also have foods that are not spicy.
- posterboy 9y agoI was going for an explanation that spicy food was preserved better in the warm humid climate.
