ginger is spicy??!?

No shit Sherlock.

it bothers me that the flavors and physical sensations of ginger and peppers are completely different but that they're both described as spicy

>>9360223
chilis are spicy
ginger is pungent

>>9360223
the pickled ginger for sushi isn't

You ever chewed raw ginger root? That shit is fire

>>9360240
pungent is a smell, not a sensation.

ginger, pepper and horseradish are all spicy, just in different ways

How much does it bother you that spicy can describe something that is heavily spiced even if none of those spices is particularly piquant?

>>9360292
i mean it can be but it's usually not
you're never gonna call like a persian chicken dish or something spicy no matter how many spices they put in it because that's not how the word spicy is used
but it is normally used for both ginger and peppers

There was this one ginger tea that was amazing, I'm pretty sure it was chinese, no idea where it came from, just saw it in the pantry one day, think it had a gold package, and the tea was in the form of little balls of ginger and whatever else, it was super comfy.

How could someone not enjoy ginger in foods? You've just ruled out about 3/4 of the world's cuisines (the best ones, I might add) because you have the palate of a 2 year old gril.
