Not Abuse.
Abuse: My mother made me eat a raw onion because I gagged on something she put onions in. When I threw it up she shoved my face in it and made me sit in my room covered in it.
Not Abuse: When my daughter used to act up in restaurants I would have them bring lemons to the table. She would have to behave or suck on one. Ended up backfiring later when she started liking them, but sure did work for a while and was much better than yelling at her in front of everyone at the restaurant. But goes to show....using food MAY not even ruin that salad after all!!
Abuse: Using a food that would make your child physically ill just to get the reaction and prove your point. (gagging them, something that you know causes their digestive system problems...etc)
Not abuse: What you described!!! Benign hot sauce on a childs tongue as a last resort.
