What does Thailand have to do with anything?
Mexican food has nothing on Thai food when it comes to spice. I like spicy food, even Thai-spicy food, but I have only once made the mistake of asking them to make it as spicy as they could. I swear that little old lady was hiding a huge grin as she marched that order back to the kitchen. Then they only came out to refill my water once.
It was fucking delicious, but I think I started to hallucinate.
I’ve heard that Thai restaurants have extra spicy recipes for non-Thai people trying to act tough by ordering the spiciest thing.
It’s typically the other way around.
To be fair if I ran a restaurant, I’d probably do this
Kindred spirit, my friend.
I knew Thai cuisine was hot, I guess the phrasing was confusing to me. That shit does get hot, along with some Indian dishes. There’s a couple of biryani places that have had me sweating like Michael Jackson at at 10th birthday party
Oh my.
There's no empirical evidence that MJ sexually abused any children. He was also acquitted. Why does this rumor persist? Because some guy who has changed his story multiple times decided after MJ died that he was abused, despite previous evidence that he wasn't abused and that his parents tried to blackmail MJ?
I mean it's a little quip so you probably didn't think much of it. But he suffered enough while alive, is it really necessary to continue to assassinate his character despite him being dead and acquitted?
I held that line for decades. I honestly thought he had a super fucked up childhood and just turned into a weird manchild with fucked up boundaries. But in the last few years since his death I feel like the balance of evidence is weighing heavily against him. Of course he's not around to defend himself any more, either. I'm done sticking up for him. Either way it's a tragic tale.
There's evidence he paid the kids off, yes
I wish they’d do that for me. I’m a pasty white guy who is a spice fiend. I fucking love spicy food, and I have some sauces I regularly use that have Scorpion Peppers, Carolina Reapers, and Ghost Peppers.
Thai food is great, but when I go to thai restaraunts, they see me order the spicy option, I swear to god they give me a quarter of the spice that they’d give someone who doesn’t boil in sunlight.
Ever had Tibetan food? Living in the Himalayas makes you pretty expert at spicy. Apparently they reduce the spiciness for Westerners. They didn't reduce it enough.
Never tried it, but I'll see if I can find any. Honestly never heard of it being a thing even in a college town, but I'll look around Detroit.
I actually tried it first in a college town- Bloomington, Indiana. It has a Tibetan community because the brother of the Dalai Lama lived there (he's dead now) along with his family and others came too because it's a pretty friendly town for a large number of Buddhists to move to since it's pretty hippie-friendly as it is.
That said, they sold the original Tibetan restaurant and the menu has been revised to the American palate. Originally, the hottest version of Thukpa Ngopa (a fried noodles with beef recipe) was something else. There was also another restaurant owned by a Tibetan immigrant that didn't have any Tibetan food, but it had a Tibetan-style dish called Himalayan Potatoes that would make you cry like a baby.
