Karakai Jouzu no (Moto) Takagi-san - Ch. 293

[Mk20]

The most wholesome Manga without the echiness it is still goated

 

[deathmailrock]

the weakest level is western

Nope, the Japanese are less into spice than Westerners...

It really depends, Americans and Canadians are all pretty big wimps that can't even handle the horseradish we call wasabi, from my experience (any that aren't usually have experience with the other side of the coin,) but Mexicans and those from Latin and Central America certainly aren't. Japan at least produces more spicy food than the US and Canada, so I'd it's not too hard to argue that we're just below Japan 🤔.

I think it's less to do with the spice of horse radish and more to do with the taste...

I can handle pretty spicy foods and real Indian and Mexican dishes from the grandmothers.... I even ate the one chip challenge...

But I can't handle horseradish wasabi.... there is just something disgusting about that.... and it's not just the spice...

That said, America has tons of different cultures involved.... and I personally grew up on Mexican and Indian foods...

My experience has been that most people just can't take how spicy our "wasabi" is (which is weaker here since horseradish is less potent,) but it's fair to think that flavor might be the other major factor. I won't deny that there is a large mix of cultures in the US, I'm half German half American myself, though I also know a large chunk of the country tends towards a lack of spices because of our more English roots. Those that have experience with more authentic Mexican, Latin American and/or Asain cuisine are certainly going to be more tolerant of spiciness, though this tends to be closer to the southern and western borders of the country. It's a weird mix that tends to depend on your experience with the more authentic versions of the foods involved in our culture, and that tends to be less true the further north you go, from my experience anyways (I spent a good chunk of my life moving and living in different parts of the US and Canada, so this is what I am drawing on.)

You know... maybe we are trying too hard to generalize one of the most diverse countries in the world.....

Curry is indeed good 🍛

Fair point

 

[deathmailrock]

Fair point

But it was a good talk. It made us realize that we both had an extensive history with American culture, went around to multiple states... yet had such diverse experiences....

Guess maybe it's just the media trying to make us seem like one group...

 

[Rebootedc]

Finally! A nice chapter of a true couple.

 

[Shiirooooooooo]

One day I will realize this scene in my own life. Damn this manga got me motivated and shi.

one day man, one day.

Adults actually are less sensitive to taste than kids are, so that's why they will eat spicier and more bitter foods than kids! ☕☕☕
Thanks for the translation!!!
