Spicy != Gourmet

It has become trendy to make everything from cheese to split-pea-soup spicy (aka hot), and it's really getting on my nerves. I mean what the hell... does eating spicy food somehow indicate that one has an elevated palette? No. Does it mean one is more bold? No. Does it indicate that a food is exotic? No.

Can spice be added to prepared food after it is cooked? Yes. Can spice be removed from prepared food after it is cooked? No. When I go to a restaurant I don't want to have to specify that I like my Creme' Brulee "mild". Core blimey.
