It was Beijing's ruinous salt tax that forced the Sichuanese to use chili peppers to flavor their food. A major source of income was taxing salt. It's demonic in its evilness. Either pay the sky-high price or have food with no taste. Salt is an important nutrient that is essential in our cells, which is why we are rewarded for consuming it with the sensation of good taste. So they were forced into using peppers, which let's just be clear here, hurt. The government forced people to hurt rather than eat bland, flavorless food. Demonic.
Sichuanese people can't eat anything unless it's burn-your-mouth-off spicy. If it's not, they complain it has no flavor and is not worth eating. A curse, honestly.
probably not, i'm just riffing on why people might have universally not liked spicy food at first despite being physically capable of eating it and its benefits for food preservation

That’s interesting:the-more-you-know:
I gotta say that peppers are delicious and the heat feels good though, for some of us at least.
