    exactly the spicey diarrhea jokes, as well as direct comparisons to vomit. American Dad and Family Guy writers spring to mind.

      That’s the kind of jokes those shows make; cheap shots and poop jokes.

      So 2 cartoons that are by the same people. So basically a single source.

      Indian food is probably given less shit in the states than most other foods. Mainly just the smell it leaves permeating through everything.

      British food is tasteless trash. Mexican food makes you shit your pants. Chinese food is eating cats and dogs. Thai will burn your butthole to death. German food is angry and has sauerkraut. Canada just has syrup on everything. Japan is fish they won’t cook. Irish is all potatoes and sheep belly. Indian is stinky and smells forever.
      Americans deep fry everything.

      We’re an equal opportunity country. We’ll talk shit on everyone.

      The spice jokes happen in any nation that culturally lacks a pepper based heat as a common seasoning, towards any food with said spice. Southern states, who share food inspiration with mexico, do not have these jokes. They eat the hottest nonsense sauces, theyre used to the effect.

        I’m an exceptional nut job from the Midwest, myself. I’m immune to spicy shits and the Mexicans I know won’t eat my hot sauces and think I’m crazy. I’ve seen people on the internet eat hotter stuff than me and enjoy it, but I’ve never met someone in real life that does.

        As near as I can figure I just like spicy flavors and I’m not as sensitive to capsaicin as normal people are, because it doesn’t cause me pain like it seems to do to anyone else. Southern Thai food tastes pretty good after I add a splash of mad dog 357 gold edition to it.

            Half bird, at least.

            It comes with downsides too, though. If I cook for other people, I have to make it bland and add my hotness afterwards. That one took a while to figure out because as soon as I could taste any spiciness, everyone else would moan and complain.

            Then I can’t just buy some $5 sauce from a grocery store if I want hot sauce. I have to order stuff that’s generally north of $20 a bottle. Also, a lot of grocery stores don’t keep habaneros year round.

          Right, but specifically that joke cannot be made successfully in regions where pepper based spice is common cuisine. Because those people dont have that reaction.

          And a large portion of the US makes that spice a common part of normal meals, thanks to proximity to mexico, or international ports.

          Basically, this is only funny to people in very isolated communities and the central northern states. Both coasts and the south have plenty of spicy influence.

        When you say southern states, do you mean southwestern? Because I’ve lived in the southeast, and the food is not spicy.
