I've heard people refer to capsaicin, horseradish, garlic, onions, and vinegar as "spicy." Sometimes I think they really just mean "making my tongue feel stuff"
And here I thought the time someone on a British cooking show was making sriracha mayo and said something like "I have to be careful not to add too much sriracha, because it's really quite hot" was bad. Like, you're mixing it with mayo. No amount of sriracha is going to make your mayo too spicy. I've tried.
But saying aioli is too spicy? That's orders of magnitude worse. That person must just hate flavor, it's the only explanation.
I literally had some Karen demand mayo instead of aioli for her fries at my work once because “aioli is too spicy”.
We don’t have mayo at my work because aioli is literally just mayo with garlic in it.
Spicy garlic folks. Imagine eating her cooking.
lol nice. Like anybody over 60 has bizarre definitions of "spicy". Sometimes they are actually talking about "spices" but using the same word.
You have to be half a mind reader to know when they mean spices and when they mean heat.

Technically peppers are piquant, not spicy. Spicy originally referred to spices in general.

Once watched a 60 year old woman ask for no yellow mustard because it's "too spicy."
:dem:
Question, why do white folks say "seracha"? Also, why do they pronounce turmeric as "tooooomeric"
My old supervisor said Adobo was too spicy and I was very confused
