What is going on?
Is it me or has food taste changed. It appears that in the last 5-10 years food has turned to include loads of spice or pepper! The straw that broke the camel's back was the latest bottle of Heinz Ketchup that we bought. It has so much spice it is not eatable. It is hard to find some foods that are not loaded with spice and god forbid you order food in a Restaurant today without it being loaded with spice or pepper. What is going on??

What's going on
I don't know your age, but:
Your sense of smell and taste change as you age. Between the ages of 40 and 50, the number of taste buds decreases, and the rest begin to shrink, losing mass vital to their operation. After age 60, you may begin to lose the ability to distinguish the taste of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter foods. Some foods I loved when younger my tummy can no longer tolerate. |

Old people taste buds change.

Could be age or meds! My MIL used to complain her food had a metal taste...and she couldn't stand anything with "spice"...not necessarily "hot".

Nay Sayers
A simple test for the "Nay Sayers" regarding spice's and pepper now added to almost all foods. Buy an order, including take out at "Carrabb's" and include their mashed potatoes and test them for spice/pepper. Not med's, age, etc etc just plain a lot hotter food than in other years ago. Know the peppers years ago in eating Italian food and this is creeping near that BUT not at that level.

I always think the restaurants "spice things up" to cover up near spoiled foods. Just sayin'

Googled around and found that Heinz has recently released a new product of ketchup and mayonnaise blended together, called "Mayochup" that is more spicy, but I am sure you would have noticed the color being lighter. Here's what Heinz's Mayochup sauce actually tastes like - INSIDER Some medications can cause a metallic taste to food, but you both agreed it was more spicy???

When we moved down 10 years ago from NY we noticed right away that they used a lot of hot pepper in a lot of their dishes..I figured it was all of the Mexicans and south Americans working in the kitchens...When Red sauce first opened in SL we couldn't continue going there because of the hot pepper they put in their sauces....( we tried again recently and it perfect) I had a sister in law that was addicted to hot pepper sauce and carried it in her purse...some people like the hot taste so to each their own...

Were you using the 'original' ketchup or a less sugar, lower sodium variant?
Heinz is making a MASSIVE change to ketchup - and it could be good for you Are you on a new medication? Personally, I prefer Trader Joe's organic ketchup. Try it sometime. Having grown up in New Mexico and eaten both red and green chile nearly daily I love spicy food. When my east coast relatives have visited me there most all of them could not handle even the mildest chile dishes. They did not seem to enjoy the flavor either. I guess it is all what one is used to eating. New Mexico chile - Wikipedia I never really adjusted to eating most east coast and midwest food which I find far too bland and tasteless. Maryland steamed crab is an exception as are some spicy Italian sauces which I dearly love.
