You can get a fair bit of heat from fresh black pepper, piperine activates the same receptor as capsaicin. I can tolerate a lot more spice than most, but it’s definitely spicy. Or it kind of bridges “spiced” and “spicy”.
Haha ikr. It can be very challenging to cook a meal that we both enjoy, sometimes. I still have a very vivid memory of having a friend cook for me when I was around 18 or so and they made an arrabiata or something similar, a slightly spicy pasta sauce. It amazed me how tasty food could be because my mum is really not a good cook (an excellent baker though :) )
Leave it to Brits to call pepper “spicy.”
