I am fucking shameless when it comes to food sweats.
Bullets, big fat movie tears, damp sweaty towels around my shoulders… stop to take an exhaustedand spicy breathe… enter the second hand… I are now double fisting chicken pathia like a chungus level American baby does spaghetti. The wait staff are disgusted, the date left hours ago… But I am happier than I will ever be.
You really paint a vivid picture.
My god that’s a fucking funny picture and it’s damn true too. I love me some fucking spicy food.
No. Let them see you cry. Let them see you hiccup and snot all over yourself. Let them see the agony.
Then take another bite. Tell them it’s delicious. Because it is.
Whoever says i like spicy food shall be reminded that indian food is alot spicyer than you might think🥵
If I’m getting spicy food I always say ‘white people spicy’. It always gets a good laugh and I usually get my food just right.
I used to like really spicy food and kept pestering my local place to make spicier curries until one day they finally got it hot enough to get to me. I ate the whole thing while the owner watched me laugh at my stupidity through my tears. It felt like I had a little space heater in my bowels for two whole days.
A little spice enhances flavor, a lot is just self-hazing.
Last time at the indian restaurant I specifically stated I want the (true) spicy variant.
Food was barely eatable.
Next time I’ll return it if they give me the bland version again.
As a white guy this is the hard part of ordering Thai or Indian. I want the spicy version, not the white guy spicy version. But, if I emphasize that, then they end up giving me beyond the spicy version to mess with me. So I just order the spicy version and sometimes it’s perfect while other times it’s too mild and disappointing.
I love some spicey food. Fact my body doesn’t seem to is it’s problem! We eating spicey!
Just ate the spicy food absolute bliss😋
My spice tolerance definitely increased after living in Sichuan Province for 6 months.
Whenever I eat spicy food my tongue stops working and all I can taste is bitter and pain
Skill issue.
Fun fact about spice tolerance. Many people think tolerance = resistance but that’s not the case. After a certain point, people who love spicy foods report the same levels of spiciness compared to those who don’t regularly eat it, it’s just that they are used to it and even like it. So something that is a 10/10 spicy is the same level of spicy for everyone, it’s just some masochists prefer it to be that way.
So when people say things like “oh that wasn’t that spicy” it still usually is spicy. Their personality just prefers it that way so it doesn’t bother them as much.
Every now and again I crave sweat inducing, tear rolling spice, it does hurt and it is spicy but somehow I get a buzz out of it… Kinda bizzare really.
I’m fairly certain that tolerance does mute the spiciness of foods. There are foods others struggle with that I hardly notice is even spicy.
It feels more like building a muscle than building a skill.
Genetics play a bit of a factor and your taste buds do develop more as you get older. But if you’re comparing tongue for tongue, the tingly/pain sensations are rated to be more or less the same.
My jerk chicken isn’t hot enough unless I’m crying from both my eyes and my nose after 5 wings. Anything less and it’s just mild jerk wings.
Ah, the things we do to attempt to preserve our dignity when we think we’re getting something only entertainingly hot, but turns out to be Chicken à la Mace…
I ate a ghost pepper once and tried to play it off as not being that hot. I spent the next 15 minutes trying not to puke.
there’s hot and there’s White Hot
This meme stereotype is over done in modern times. Modern US cuisine is fantastic and not missing any of the spice. We’ll keep up with our eastern friends all day long.
Do you really think that the average American has the same heat tolerance as the average person from Hyderabad or Chengdu?
Or that the average American restaurant will make food as spicy as the average restaurant in India?
Hot sauces are the most popular sauces now in America. Yet the stereotype persists.
The most popular hot sauces in America are mild ones like Tabasco, Frank’s red hot, and Sriracha.
Habanero and ghost pepper based sauces aren’t very popular.
THE JOKE IS BECAUSE THE TURBAN WEARER IS INDIAN AND HE LOVES HOTTER FOOD THAN THE WHITE GUY
You got it
