Food not so hot

Among Mexican and Asian cuisines looks like a race to see who can stand the hottest chiles and the most spicy food. We know of poeple who do not buy curries or Mexican food to go and prefer to cook their own so they can contorl how hot it is.

However, the cuisine of most of the countries with the highest life expectancy is not dominated by chiles and hot dishes. Let us mention Japan, Spain or Monaco as an example.
