#GC learns to embrace spice and BS learns to enjoy richness

[burningcheese-merchant]

I love that romance trope of "OTP makes a culturally significant dish for each other" except applying it to burningcheese where it's less so cute and more of them being opposites in the extremes 🤣 Burning Spice is confused on why he's supposed to dip cheese cubes in a cheese fountain and spinkle it with cheese dust, everything's too rich ffs. Meanwhile Golden Cheese can't get past three bites of an XXL plate of Goat Curry so radioactively spicy, that the smell alone sends her into a coughing fit and after eating it, her tongue is gonna shrivel up and fall off her body any second now.

For real tho. Burning Spice is laughing his ass off watching her cough and sneeze trying to eat one (1) mouthful of vindaloo or something (and also cooing about how adorable she is when she sneezes, both to annoy her and as a genuine remark (he really does think her sneezing is cute)). She's giving him the biggest stink eye of all time while dealing with her mouth being on fire. The food is actually really delicious (Indian food is great fr), it's just far too spicy for her. No shade to the chefs, all the shade to Burning Spice

On the other hand, GC is explaining all the literal thousands (not joking lol) of types of cheese and the best way to prepare and eat them and how they're all delicious and how her people are the best cheese chefs and artisans and he's uncultured swine for not understanding how and why they dip the cheese cubes in the cheese fondue and sprinkle cheese dust on top, and Spice is just standing there listening like
