Life is extraordinarily suave and sweet with certain natural, witty, affectionate people who have unusual distinction and are capable of every vice, but who make a display of none in public and about whom no one can affirm they have a single one. There is something supple and secret about them. Besides, their perversity gives spice to their most innocent occupations, such as taking a walk in the garden at night.
~ Marcel Proust

I have heard people say, "I like spicy foods, but they don't like me." I think that is a bit arrogant. To anthropomorphize food and then have it focus its thoughts on you. Well, I think we are a little full of ourselves, are we not? Or judgmental to think that spicy foods wouldn't like you. That spicy foods would be cruel and dismissive.
And don't tell me, "That's not what I mint!" You are at least parsley to blame. I think it's thyme we curry up and realize it's better to be saffron sorry. Mock me if you mustard, but I will have the fennel word on this topic.
