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.
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.
Once watched a 60 year old woman ask for no yellow mustard because it's "too spicy."
Question, why do white folks say "seracha"? Also, why do they pronounce turmeric as "tooooomeric"
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.
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"
Technically peppers are piquant, not spicy. Spicy originally referred to spices in general.
That looks like it's written in British English, a people who conquered the world for spices that they then never put in their food.
"Bell pepper" isn't British English. All the google hits for these are from Nordic countries. Apparently Nordic people like eating mild snacks with packaging in a mixture of British and American English?
In Finland, the English taught in schools is primarily British English and the English used in official contexts uses BrE spellings
I assume it's the same for the other Nordic countries
“Bell pepper” isn’t British English.
Yes, you guys call them... peppers. Thankfully that's not confusing at all
Between this and the extra l in the word chili, I have to conclude that the inhabitants of the British Isles and the genus Capsicum just don't mix
Canada uses the word bell pepper and British English spelling of flavour. Lol, googling it I got that the Canadian equivalent to this flavour of doritos is "pure paprika".
This is the first time I've ever seen a "red bell pepper" flavour snack of any type, paprika is pretty common flavour for eg Pringles though.
(Confusingly, paprika is also what we call red bell peppers in Finnish, but in snack flavouring I assume it refers to the spice also called paprika)
The flavouring on these will be paprika. Paprika is just bell pepper/capsicum powder.
The problem is that the anglos can't decide on what to call it. Same with coriander.
What the fuck is up with the Anglo-American hegemon? Americans freak the fuck out if they see bilingual packaging, can you imagine how much they'd flip if it was like this?
There's a ton of countries and languages in Europe, and even for smaller regions like the Nordic countries it makes sense to just use English for branding purposes (the ingredients are listed in the back in a bunch of different languages)
You're required by law to have a list of ingredients in Finnish and Swedish (the whole two official languages thing), but the sheer amount of English you see looking around at the shelves at your average supermarket does feel a bit weird sometimes. It gets even weirder when Finnish companies make products that are mainly in English
Yeah like, shoe on the other foot, imagine me going into an American grocery store and the ingredients are in English but everything else is in Chinese.
Chuds would break their thumbs tweeting.
Do most people also read and speak Chinese to at least some extent through sheer cultural osmosis in this alternate universe
Honey even in this alternate universe you know Americans ain't gonna know a second language
Kay, now when I want the Sweet Spicy Chili doritos, gotta make sure I say that instead of purple.
One day I wish to make a pilgrimage to America to sample your myriad exotic varieties of Doritos and Mountain Dew, especially the fabled Baja Blast
Their Nacho Cheese ones have a good flavour and a nice amount of dusting, and locally there's nothing quite like their Cool Ranch, they're just exorbitantly expensive compared to any other tortilla chip brand
