 (Nick Galifianakis for The Post) | Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My partner and I shared a lot of meals over the past few months and the problem is basically this: nearly every meal involves hot sauce. On a side, as a garnish, slathering the main … hot sauce. Not only does it offend me to my core if I work hard to make an interesting, flavorful meal that is summarily drowned in hot sauce, but I also don't really like hot sauce. I don't like the smell, I don't care for the taste. In moderation, sure, but not as part of the essential fabric of my diet. Now, of course, my partner has turned it into a dichotomy of hot sauce/no hot sauce and I'm the reason hot sauce is not allowed. Can we not have a happy medium (or happy mild, as it were)? — Offended |
