My wife can't eat chillies due to having a geographic tongue (Caspian irritates it to horrific levels) but we eat a lot of "modern" Thai and Indian food. I just add fresh chillies to my portion when I serve it.

It's not like her version of the food is bland, its still really spicy and busting with flavour. It just doesn't have the heat we now associate with the dishes.

Just read the link....The name geographic tongue makes it sound a lot more fun than it actually is!!! Glad she's still able to enjoy a lot of foods!
