Parents: When Do You Introduce Spicy Food To Your Child?

We try, but the girls don’t like spicy food much.

Having said that, there’s a huge difference between them. T, my stepdaughter, cannot abide spice at all. ANY amount of spiciness in food and she feels it’s like Nuclear Hot Wings. She reacts to black pepper the way most people react to scotch bonnet pepper.

M, my daughter, isn’t a fan of spicy food but a little spice doesn’t bother her at all.

Why is that? Beats me. It’s not what their mothers ate while pregnant.

My daughter is 27. When we dine together she’ll still ask for a tiny taste of anything spicy I’m eating and she still doesn’t like it.
