If your food requires you to put dirt spices all over it in order for it to be palatable, your food is not good. yep.It all tastes like burning. People who like this are masochistic.

Point is spice goes on nearly all food. It's okay to like bland food without projecting. This of course, coming from the country that brought us true delicacies like "pineapple beetroot hamburger" and "vegemite on toast" It's okay if you don't like spicy but condemning is where we draw the line please. pic.twitter.com/SKailtFyam Who cares!You stick with your boiled potatoes while we savor our flavorful delicacy.
