      It's kind of the opposite for me. I'm half-Mexican, and I cannot stand Mexican food. In fairness, you can partially blame my Mexican relatives for that. They just never go light on the cilantro - always heavy with it. The other part of the blame goes to the Mexican food options that were around us; they all tasted like they were marinated in Tabasco.
      Now, even when I only look at Mexican food, I get nausea. While I can still handle some hot and spicy, heat does not equate to flavor for me. Thus, I prefer anything light on hot spicing, which makes me mainly go with Mediterranean.
      I am trying to coax myself into eating Mexican food by trying my hand at making my own, but...let's just say that progress has not been made so far.

    Another good option i think would work is passion fruit mousse which is a mixture of passion fruit pulp with a can of condensed milk and enough heavy cream to make it kind of a soft peak, wet whipped creme consistency. Passion fruit is also acidic.

      I didn't know "hot pepper extract" referred to pure capsaicin. I was reading the ingredients list on the back of my habanero oil bottle yesterday, as I was struggling to continue eating the food that I'd just put 3 drops too many of it on, when I saw that mentioned on the bottle and was wondering what chili it was referring to. It's definitely nice that I can essentially make anything spicy without altering the flavor but man one slip of the wrist and it's over. I usually have 3 drops for every serving of rice, which is just on the cusp of too spicy once it's done building but still pleasant, but I accidentally gave myself 6 and almost died.

      Some of it is definitely based in neurodivergence (causes people to be literally sick from certain textures), undetected allergies, and I imagine the rest is mostly fear of the unknown + comfort of the familiar, or at least it was for me. Anything that had an odd smell, appearance, texture, or taste immediately made me anxious about even trying it, even if I figured I might like it by one or multiple other compounds.
      Main things that helped were, as long as it was on my own terms, trying combination foods without knowing what was in them, like sauces with mayo or sandwiches with an unfamiliar meat, or trying it little by little and getting used to it almost as a snack like snack pickles and restaurant appetizers (takes the pressure off of 'who's going to eat this if it makes me gag).

Now, you don't want to give a kid a plate full of broccoli because then you may get super stressed, but having one bite once a week for 10 weeks is usually enough to get used to it and then you can start to incorporate it more into one's diet.

      Also because vanilla extract is mostly alcohol that’s a bad plan haha
      Maybe the baked stuff would work though

    Is anyone else surprised that they haven’t tried sour cream? I’ve used it before for ghost peppers and it completely neutralizes the heat. It also fits the dairy and acid categories. You have to keep eating it tho otherwise the heat comes back after 10-15 seconds.

      Sour cream is delicious and I would like more in my diet. I eat it with basically whenever I make something spicy. It works well, never considered until you mentioned.
      The calories though...

      @@chibi_bb9642 Maybe try a light ranch dip or salad dressing to reduce your calories, as I've seen that some have a sour cream base.
      @marcusdasilva645 They can only try so many items per show. I would guess that it's probably on their list to try amongst the various potato chip dips and salad dressings. I'm hoping that they try the key lime pie yogurt cups next time to see if they are as effective as actual key lime pie.
