Answers:
As a mom, we start introducing semi spicy foods to our kids at a young age. Once you develop a taste for it, everything else seems pretty bland & boring. I always used to joke about my mom carrying Indian pickles around in her purse & pulling it out at restaurants to put on her pizza! Now I put Indian pickle on my pizza and so do most of my friends! We get used to eating spicy food and we love it! Spicy food is part of our culture & our identity.
It does cool you down, makes you sweat (that's why people say Indians always smell of curry! In a way it's true, it's always in our blood!)
Even my 4 yr old eats alot of more adult foods: he prefers Pad Thai to mac & cheese. Love curries and tandoori shrimp. He would eat calamari everyday if he could! You gotta train them young!
He loves sushi too!
