Yes, you can certainly get children used to spicy food. When my daughter
Izumi was two, she ate lunch at an Indian restaurant (buffet style). The
food was quite spicy. She wanted some of everything and ate the whole plate.
Only when walking out, she finally said: <Hm, was that spicy!>.
She is now ten, and in a Thai restaurant she orders her food <Thai Hot> ...
It's nice to be able to cook really spicy and not having to eat the whole
dish by yourself. Yes, it helps to get them started early!
Wishing everyone a great weekend,
