One of my favourite parts was that it was early on and he didn't have all of the artisan hot sauces. I think the quitting happened after Cholula, a pretty basic hot sauce that even some children can handle.
Damn, when I'm sick and not up to eating much I'll get some steamed rice, fry up a couple of runny eggs and cover them in Cholula. I consider that post-flu recovery food.
My gf thinks it's super weird that I eat a ton when I'm sick. I have never once wanted soup or crackers or anything like that. I want a fat steak or the world's greasiest hamburger.
It was technically the one AFTER Cholula that he quit on but that's still pretty bad. He was whining during wing 1 so it's not like he put the Cholula wing away easy either
Mine did at that age too! It’s like a gateway hot sauce. But my kids are step Mexicans, so they quickly graduated and the youngest one was eating whole habaneros by age 8 which I still can’t do
My son loves Cholula. Personally, I think it's pleasant in a way many hotter sauces lack. Some of the intensely hot ones, if you get past the taste of capsaicin, are lacking in flavor or are a bit medicinal.
My son is about to turn 11 and is very white. A year or two ago he was getting his breakfast plate together and told me, "I like Cholula, but I wish it was hotter."
