I am a bit worried—the papadum we got with our dinner was painfully spicy, and (a) it appears to have been black pepper, as far as
cattitude could tell, and (b) didn't seem spicy to him, which if this becomes a pattern will make it hard for him to check spiciness levels for me.
(I am also rather congested, but that seems unlikely to be the cause of this.)
ETA: Adrian has pointed out that large amounts of black pepper will mask red pepper. And I know that, these days, it may not take much red pepper to be painful for me.
