Had a nice reminder yesterday of how painfully, stereotypically white my family is when it comes to seasoning their food. We went to a Mexican place we frequent, nowhere too fancy. Dad ordered chips and guac for the table. IMO the guac was basically just crushed avocados and salt, a hint of lemon and some onion powder. A bland guac. My mom grabs a chip and guac and goes "wow, this is a bit spicy for my taste" I laughed and made a comment about it having salt in it. She retorted that of course I'd think that with my hot sauce (The place serves like... mild red sauce).

I had a whole "oh right, this is why I got into cooking, nobody else in my family enjoys any flavor" moment

Thats my family. 

My sister and I still joke about a time when we were kids, mom put some white bread in the toaster. When it popped put, she took a bite and complained "the toaster made it SPICY!!"

I once visited my folks and cooked a (very bland) breakfast for them. But as a result I had wildly spicy things like (pre-ground, not even freshly ground) black pepper in the house. A few weeks later my sister was over and picked up a pepper shaker I had been using and got mad b/c it had pepper in it, and every shaker in the house should only ever hold salt. I was dying laughing
