Yeah, I had read something like this and it blew my mind.
Apparently Northern Mexico is the only Latin American region whose food is generally known to be spicy?
Like, Argentina I would expect to have bland food because, from what I gather, they're a pretty bland people. But Venezuela and Brazil? I always assumed their food was as spicy as their politics.
Where did you heard that? actually in northern Mexico food tends to be less spicy (for Mexican standards).
I think spicy food remained popular in mesoamerica because the native culture there was pretty strong. In most of South America native cultures were erased and european style cuisine established.
