Every once in a while I buy some good salami. I make sandwiches and I think about my dad, who taught me to like strongly flavored things.
Salami
Sardines
Hot sausage
Tabasco sauce
Lapsang souchong tea
Strong mustard
He didn't sit me down and make me eat or drink these things. But because he was my dad and because I loved him, I tried them when I got a chance and I like these things too.
I probably inherited an ability to ingest spicy stuff without pain. Neither he or I seem to be super-tasters. But I learned by watching and remembering.
