Sweet. Spicy. Salty. It’s an addictive combination. Wait, let me clarify that. It’s an additive combination when done correctly and by that, I mean striking a balance. If the combination is off, all you get is spicy hot or sickening sweet and it’s just not good. Even just a little salt can elevate something from mediocre to wonderful. Take spiced nuts for example. Ever sit at a bar, absently nibbling from some random bowl the bartender put in front of you? Now think, have you ever absently nibbled, stopped for a moment and thought “Damn. These are good.” Probably not too often, huh? But maybe once or twice? And I bet in those one or two situations, you asked for more when your little bowl was empty? Am I right? (Or is that just me?)
