I think I won - indeed I won! :D
Sometime ago, my in-law, a male, prepared a wonderful dish and had added pepper in excess ( it was unintentional).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My sister, the wife, could not eat the food. The rest of the people in the house could not eat it except my in-law and Classik :) (I managed to eat it - but my in-law is great at eating peppery dishes).
It was a fun - and we all laughed with amused distaste. My in-law had denied the family the dinner. It was funny.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another time, my sister prepared a sumptuous meal and mistakenly added salt in excess. It was still tasty.
Wow! The husband could not eat a grain of it - but simply furrowed his face in distaste.
My sister could eat the food - not that she deliberately adds excess salt in dishes.
I too could eat the meal with a bit of comfort. It was as if they'd deliberately prepared salty or peppery food in order to feed alone and discourage others who hate faulty dishes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I could see glee (sort of) in the whole process as my sister polished off her dish and as my in-law polished off his. I don't care! I eat any food. However I don't think I can attempt eating Frogs or vultures etc., like a few do.

It was my own turn to cook. Now, I had added both salt and pepper in excess. It wasn't intentional. Hehe! :D No one ate this except.....
And I think I won. :thumbsup :lol
 
Your pepper story reminded me of a time when I was about 20 I learned about how when you cook spices long enough they get a little stronger. I had made chili a few times before but I found that it never came out with enough heat to suit me. I'm not a freak about hot foods but I wanted my chili to have a little more heat than I had been getting. One time I decided to make a batch of chili and I invited some friends over for dinner and cards. When I was making the chili and taste tested it I figured it wasn't hot enough so I added more chili powder, stirred it, tasted it, and added some more until I was satisfied. Then I proceeded to simmer the chili for four hours. Well, to keep this short there were four grown men sitting at my dinner table crying and sweating. I ended up throwing the whole thing away. It was so hot we couldn't eat it.

:lol Jurisdiction!
- It was a great food! I could have polished off everything!
One good thing about such dishes is, however small it is...you must take plenty of water - and have your stomach bulging out. Be overfed with...
