    At the other end of the extreme, I’ve had multiple Irish and English customers at work say they won’t eat our white pudding, as the cinnamon makes it too spicy. There’s plenty of old people like that in either country that bring down the average spice tolerance by quite a bit.

      That sounds like they don’t like the flavour, rather than the heat? I noticed when I was in the US that so many things were flavoured with cinnamon and it’s a very rich and overpowering taste. Like everything is suddenly a biscuit. Even toothpaste.
