And although Western taste buds have traditionally steered clear of spicy fusions for various reasons \u2013 colonialism amongst them \u2013 the flavors are now back in vogue. Like Batman &#038; Robin or sweet \u2018n salty trail mix, \u201cswicy\u201d fuses two classics, sweet and spicy, to create a new, dynamic combo. <\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons the combination is so effective is because we taste sweet on the tips of our tongues, but spicy is sensed through the taste buds themselves, making the fusion a gustatory delight. Sugar also helps reduce capsaicin, the pungent compound in peppers, making this the perfect trend for those who want to get a bit more adventurous with their flavors but aren\u2019t yet ready to take spicy head-on. <\/p>\n<p>One way to incorporate this trend into your daily life is to add these flavors to dishes you\u2019re already making. In your scrambled eggs, try swapping out salt with Sweet Cholula\u00ae \u2013 or go the economical route and make your own with a dash of pineapple juice and hot sauce. Instead of dipping apples in caramel sauce, try drizzling them with honey and sriracha.
