GFrei.News sharply criticized spicy food as an imported cultural ill and contrasted it with the variety of European cooking, brewing, vinification, and baking traditions. The author claimed that strong seasoning is primarily prevalent in poor, hot regions to mask the taste of spoiled food and prevent food poisoning. Since the early 2000s, this practice has spread in Germany through Indian restaurants, internet challenges, and television chefs. Furthermore, GFrei.News wrote that spicy food doesn’t really taste good but causes pain and the release of endorphins through capsaicin. These have a pain-relieving and mood-enhancing effect and can be addictive, the author claimed, comparing them to opium. In conclusion, he recommended a European meal with wine or beer, dessert, and espresso, and jokingly suggested having the waiter hit you afterward to release similar endorphins. He disparaged spices from poorer countries. #Essen #Kultur #Kulinarik (translated)
