Ha, that actually gets me thinking about how my one grandmother is. She’s first generation Slovak-American. Not adventurous or ambitious with her food at all. We like to joke about how there’s “spicy” and “Grandma spicy.”

I see that with the crew* I play cribbage with. Not very adventurous food-wise for the most part. I tone down my chili when I make it for our annual potluck - and I don’t make massively spicy chili in any case. They also consider foods like dolma too exotic or weird looking.

* - Bunch of middle-aged and senior-aged white men. The one is who a professor at Drexel does eat sushi though - so they’re not all total sticks in the mud. ;)
