Rob and Phlip both like and eat food that is significantly hotter than I consider edible, but that is fine - when we make something that can be left blander and kicked up we do it or they will make something hot and I will make something that I want that night. Not a big deal. I finally made it into an Ethiopian restaurant a couple years back when we drove to Fresno for a family visit. Of the blander stuff, I was fine and enjoyed it but the one dish I ordered extra mild came out so volcanic hot [for cold raw beef with spices] that Rob couldn't manage to eat it. Either they gave us the wrong order or someone was fucking with me. Now I have the base flavor profile dialed in, I can make it at home blander so I can actually manage to eat it now.

Quoth fireheart View PostThere's a restaurant chain in Aussieland that allows customers to choose how spicy they want their chicken. They can choose "plain...ish", churasco BBQ, lemon and herb, mild, medium, hot, suicidal. (The last one is not their actual label). I made the mistake of trying their churasco BBQ with medium hot sauce. They were not kidding about the spice.
Mind you, the suburb's pretty bogan/redneck...maybe that's a deciding factor?Patient has severely impacted cranial rectosis. There's probably no cure. - Overheard in ER

Quoth MoonCat View PostSounds like those people think they can order whatever they want and custom-order the level of spicing beyond the standard mild, medium, suicidal or whatever terms are used.
Quoth Jester View Post6: This is what I imagine the Thais eat when they want something spicy. And if you're wondering why you've never seen it on the menu, it's because they don't offer it to Americans due to likely lawsuits. That, or they don't have all their hazmat licenses up to date.

Mmmm...we have a bazillion Thai restaurants here in town. Most have 5 star scales, and I find 2-3 is just about right for me. Some dishes are marked as having a minimum spice of medium, so why would you complain if they're spicy? You're getting exactly what you order!
