I was reading about this earlier today, sushi in the States is assembled rice-side-out because back in the day, Americans would peel off the nori before eating because seaweed was too scary for them. Absurd.

    Plus spiciness is literally just pain. Like it's not an actual flavor, it's the experience of pain the capsaicin causes when reacting with the inside of your mouth.

    Like it's good and all, but idk about every meal involving literal pain.
