Jason and Jamal cook for each other, but Jason says Jamal’s food is way too spicy. Does Jamal need to chill out with the chilli?

My housemate Jamal and I take it in turns to cook each week, but when it’s his week he makes food that’s way too spicy for me. He says I should just “man up” and upgrade my palate, but it’s not that easy.

Jamal says my food is unseasoned , so that if I make him compromise when it’s his turn to cook, he will end up suffering twice, because he’ll have to eat boring food two weeks in a row.I think he’s just joking about my cooking. I rate myself as a cook as highly as I rate him – I just don’t use as much spice. Jamal puts scotch bonnet chillies and cayenne pepper in everything – and it’s too much. The dishes I’m drawn to don’t naturally lend themselves to spice.

I really like it that we cook for each other, because we’re busy boys. It’s nice coming home to dinner made for me every other week. He doesn’t have to take all the spices away but maybe he could lay off the chilli. He even puts it in spaghetti bolognese! If I’m prepared to leave out pork, he should tone down the spices.I grew up eating food with lots of flavour.

I grew up eating curries and stews that have loads of flavour and chilli, so I naturally add that to my cooking. Jason is lucky he gets to sample world cuisines. I don’t make a lot of Nigerian dishes for him because I don’t think he could hack them, but he does like my suya, and the jollof I cook, as they are less spicy.
