I consider myself openminded and tolerant.

I once heard a fellow say he was from Minnesota and he thought ketchup was too spicy.

Outwardly I stayed calm but in my heart I wanted to burn the heretic.

    I'm in Minnesota, and I can confirm there are people who think ketchup is spicy.

    The first time I encountered "ketchup is spicy/a hot sauce," I thought it was a joke. Then I also learned that there are truly bland people who think salt and pepper is "too much".

    I live in a very weird state.

    I've known a few midwesterners like that, they likely grew up on "natural flavor" and never add anything to their food and eat the blandest possible interpretations of real foods, and since their taste buds aren't used to any real flavor anything cooked with flavor is extreme to them

    What leads to this… genuinely curious.

    If you go back far enough, there’s a lot of Scandinavian heritage in Minnesota settlers, especially Sweden and Norway. Historically, Scandinavian foods lacked spice because there weren’t a lot of spices that grew there. The settlers brought the palette that comes with that with them.

    I grew up eating what most people consider very spicy food. I don't care what level of spicy other people are comfortable with, but I've found that amongst certain types of people I have to be discreet about my preference for spicy food. Some people find it a novelty to gawk at which is just awkward.

    I fairly recently moved to Minnesota and I love very spicy foods. I just have to accept the fact that everything people here tell me is spicy is going to be very tame. People that get to know me have started saying "really spicy... for Minnesota" lmao
