1. Don't be a Gerald Ford. Remove the husk from

tamales!

[anciano]

4. I remember that! Love it.

19. I had never been to the

Midwest, but I knew that they had corn fields for miles. I just assumed that up there they ate tamales that way. I had heard that the food there wasn't very good and I thought that I understood why.

2. Years ago the state lottery was running an ad that took place in a diner

the waitress asked the customer if he wanted salsa and when told yes asked "Would that be mild, extra mild, or Minnesotan?"

I have to confess that I fit the stereotype & am not real fond of spicey food, but I know many people (my late mother included) who are.

3. LOLOL!

5. I sympathize with him.

Can't eat hot peppers either, though I have no Scandinavian ancestry. It's probably the Irish.

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Harris: "You know what picante is for him? Black pepper."

Endearingly hilarious!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. Which turkey would you eat? ...

[fierywoman]

17. Oh! Oh! Oh! I hadn't seen this (TY !) The one on the right, of course!

[markodochartaigh]

20. Neither

of the two turkeys on the left seem appetizing.

[Dem2theMax]

9. Blonde hair, blue-eyed person of Scandinavian ancestry here.

But I grew up in Southern California.
The more spice, the better! I want to see fire coming out of my mouth when I eat Mexican food.

My stomach, on the other hand . . . hates me.

[Wounded Bear]

11. Gotta love that they can joke around like that...

Never give a sword to a man who can't dance.

Can't tolerate spicy food myself, so I simpathize, and I don't mind a little ribbing about it if it's all in fun.

[sarisataka]

12. Minnesota Tabasco-

[SunSeeker]

13. He'll get her back when it's lutefisk time.

[electric_blue68]

[LeftInTX]

[StarryNite]

21. I love spicy food. I love Mexican food.

[Sky Jewels]

23. But can he eat lutefisk?

If so, that shows a strong stomach!

[Warpy]

24. Pro tip: if the spice is enough to blow the top of your head off

eat some of that blob of sour cream that's on the plate, that's what it's for.

Capsaicin binds to fat and when it's in the bound state, it's a lot tamer.

[electric_blue68]

25. Can only do some lower heat - ancho, poblano...

Idk if it's the heat but I haven't in the past liked the taste of jalapeños.

I can also take a little sprinkle of cayenne.

[Skittles]

29. I am 95% Scandanavian

I get it - spicy stuff literally HURTS me - yes indeed

[catbyte]

30. We aren't quite that wimpy in Michigan -- some of us put Tabasco sauce on pasties

Some use ketchup or gravy but I won't talk about that.

31. I love seeing his daughter Hope on the campaign trail with her dad.

[Deep State Witch]

32. White Person Spicy

Hubs and I were in the Cayman Islands a few years back, and got jerk chicken sandwiches from a food truck. The owner asked us if we wanted our chicken mild or spicy. I responded "white person spicy." She hesitated, then burst out laughing. Ever since then, we refer to mild anything as "white person spicy."

I still like spicy food, but as I'm getting older, I'm finding that it doesn't like me so much.
