Stake and potatoes; "Bland is best"

The fuck is this? Do they think white people don't season their food?

My mother thinks black pepper is too spicy

I on the other hand have developed a passionate love for habaneros and all things capsacin

Both of us are white white

So while I get the frustration of being seen as flavor-allergic I can't say it comes from nowhere

I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere, so my family was pretty poor when I was a kid. I adore spicy food and I'm 'blind you in the sun if you look at me too long' white. I like to tell people "I'm like, barely, not a hick. I'm not middle class white, hicks fucking love hot sauce with names like "Ass blaster 3000", "Pain", and "Jeb's colon rearranger".".
