Afaik, Korean cuisine in the North tends to be less spicy than the South, imagine if they launched balloons fool of 'Buldak 3x Spicy & Hot Chicken' back into the North for recent provocations.

I must admit I’m not a great fan of spicy food, I like to taste what I eat, but I get that in countries with lower food standards it can be a benefit not to be able to taste the food.

The blander the better!

“You use salt in your dishes? Personally I like to taste what I eat and not mask the flavor, but I get in your s**thole country with poor food standards you need everything to taste like Poseidan’s a** to stomach anything.”

Denmark has a food poisoning incidence rate ( 216 patients per million people in 2022 and similarly in 2021) four times that of South Korea (53 patients per million people).

Every ingredients serves a purpose. Capsaicin serve as an antibacterial ingredient and to disguise the taste of spoilt food, there’s absolute nothing wrong with that, it’s just not something I have a lot of taste for and massive amount of chili serves as a good warning sign. Salt and sugar serve as a flavor enhancer. Most other spices and herbs simply give an interesting flavors, some I like and some I don’t and they rarely serves as a warning sign.

Yes, which is why I don’t get their obsession with hiding the flavor of their food.

Perhaps it’s because your point is totally inane.

… or maybe I don’t get why people loves to s**k their own c**k over putting vast amount of chili in food. Maybe I’m tired of poor chefs disguising mediocre food by making it borderline inedible, but that at least is preferable to people doing the same to a meal which could be good if you could taste it.
Maybe I’m tired of chili dishes being something of roulette from the chefs knowing how to use an ingredient to it being a waste of food and money. But if people like chili so much they can stick a chili covered finger up where the sun doesn’t shine.

As for this action by the Danish food agency, I think it’s a bad policy, anyone buying this product deserves what they get.

Denmark is officially the whitest country on Earth.

I mean capsaicin really was used to hide bad food. Lots of African American food was originally the crappy ingredients they could afford flavored to disguise the fact. That doesn't mean you can't make that food with good ingredients or that people can't evolve socially to like spicy or highly flavored food without being aware of the origins of the recipes. But it is still true historically.

In any case high quality meat tastes fine with minimal flavoring and if you didn't grow up with spicy food you may not like it. Same as people who don't grow up on sea food will say it tastes like death. People who are into super spicy food generally progressed over time. While some populations have evolved to be able to tolerate spicier food generally it isn't like they just feed babies ghost peppers from day 1.

Also Ramen is a perfect example of a cheap very mid food that uses lots of flavorings to cover that fact.

Personally if people have a preference for insanely spicy food that's fine as long as they don't act morally superior about it.

America doesn't allow the import of dog meat but realistically eating dog is no more immoral than eating cow. Personally I don't expect dog meat would be very good, since most dogs aren't bred to be food dogs.

If Denmark wants to ban super spicy food, that's their business.

In fairness, Buldak is spicy as hell.

But still, lol @ banning it.

It's nice to know that, even after almost a decade of Trump dominating American politics, European foreigner-baiting still hits different.
