Except you don't say anything about the people who have good taste buds and don't NEED to mask the taste of their food with hot peppers and such.
Think about what Mexicans eat..dull corn, tortillas.. a bunch of bland stuff that has no taste, no wonder they have to add something hot and the more they add the more they need

GOOD food ALREADY has a robust unique flavor, what about the children who can't eat anything with out ketchup or ranch on it?

By that you mean they smother perfectly good food with Garlic or hot sauce??? or smother a good steak with A-1 or Worcester sauce, or the order a pizza with everything in the world on it but still have to stick it in ranch sauce??? YUK. that's not adventuresome in my book at all.
Spicy is one thing a little is OK although I'm sick to death of Garlic that I used to like and onions are going the same way.
To me spicy food is third world food Cajun... equals too hot to stand
How odd. I LOVE the taste of fresh, homemade, corn tortillas all by themselves. I love homemade Mexican rice and beans. Not bland to me at all. I can eat them without the pepper. The peppers have their own unique taste. They taste like peppers. So, if I put peppers, or pepper sauce on rice and beans or tortillas, I taste that food. And peppers. I think your taste buds are befuddled.
