[mb23100]

I just said 8. It's on its way and I'm a little worried as I've had the shits for 2 days. Am I going to die? Serious question

 

[LEGS MAHONEY]

I've had some Thai food that feels like some fire ants are having a dance off on your god damn tongue.

Spiciest food i have ever eaten.

If a restaurant has a scale of spiciness, it's not authentic flavor.

I think TS is more worried about his already swollen o-ring than the culinary accumen of said restaurant

I always go 0. I like a little spice but if it is too much it ruins the dish for me. My wife gets a 5 out of 5 at this place we go to but I can't relate or tell how hot it is in comparison to your experience. I'm Polish but I really do Mexican spices much better than Southeast Asian.

The scale is just to accommodate the widest group of diners, it doesn’t mean they don’t have authentic flavor.

Anyways, if you want it the authentic flavor just say, “Tham Thai Thai noi khrap,” which means “make it like you would make for a Thai person.”

I'd rather not. I don't give a shit about a restaurant that undercuts their quality for a demographic.

Mexican spice is kid shit compared to dat Asian spice. These motherfuckers been strengthening their chilies for centuries.

Lol

Explain how a varying level of spice in a particular dish would somehow denote a lower quality

I'll wait.

You believe authenticity and quality are synonymous? That’s odd. Seems like you don’t understand the basic definition of quality.

So you’d never eat Korean BBQ tacos or other fusion food?

Edit: and as far as Thai food goes the authentic table setting would include sugar, ground dry chilies, mild green chilies in vinegar, and Thai chilies in fish sauce to adjust the flavor yourself. Just like a western restaurant would have salt and pepper on the table. People have different tastes.

Every ingredient that goes into a dish impacts it's flavor.

Spice isn't something you can move up and down on a scale without impacting the flavor.

What an evil, dastardly Thai man.

Yeah, I went with the highest level spice once at this Thai restaurant my fiance and I like.

Never again.

Edit: fucking lol @ your quoting him. Damn.

Well, you're wrong, basically.

That's the best way to put it.
