re: #237 chadu
My great-grandparents were Slovak/Slovenian immigrants, but my great-grandfather and my grandmother were >all about the spicy. Great-grandma… not so much. Bog-standard Italian was pushing her limits.
I think it’s more my grandmother’s personality at play here. Conservative in the non-political sense of the word- she’s typically unwilling to try new foods though she did like the green spaghetti that my brother’s wife made. She did recoil though when we told her we tried cow’s heart at a Peruvian restaurant.
