The Burn Your Mouth Off Consiracy....

Seen several posts remarking on my being sensitive to spicy foods due to age.

Yah, the big 5-0 birthday is coming up in a few short months, and that was something I was wondering too: is it just me and my age?

But see, my wife is younger than me, and she''s noticed this too, with the exact same foods.

And: my son Josh has noticed it. He's only 13.

The things I saw about Ranch dressing is what got my attention. The original recipe for it, does not have anything in it that can be considered very spicy.

Yet in today's world, when people post homemade recipes, they include very spicy things like Cayenne pepper and declare it a "clone" of actual store bought ranch dressing.

I was trying to look into ingredients of pepperonis, but the commercial versions list "spices" like for ranch (really hate it when they do that).
