I lived in Mexico for a while & love my spice. So with Matilda's food I actually increase the beans & rice amount & put a tiny amount of spicy meat with yogurt or something to tone it down for her, but she has had salsa and other spicy things since she was around 18 months. When we travelled in America some of the kids meals had the same salsa as the adult meals & she did fine with that. ATM actually she's fighting with DH over a tobasco bottle that she is tasting & saying "yummy" so we'll see how the nappy goes...
