re: #347 The Vicious Babushka

My SIL (who is British) explained that Anglo-Saxons simply can’t tolerate spicy food, it’s not just a matter of taste. He loves Middle Eastern food but it makes him literally sick.

I think that has a bit more to do with the Anglo Saxon way of eating: a tradition based on big portions and meat-based meals.

I am sorry, but the great Northern European tradition of Sunday roast makes me sick, I only do roasts for Xmas and Easter.
