Real Ethnic Food

Yep.  This the true story of what happens when a fair-skinned person walks into an ethnic restaurant and orders HOT food (3 pages).  I have seen versions of this with multiple friends.  Me, the closest I get is having people stare at me when I eat crystalized ginger root as candy.  Link courtesy of my_partner_doug (who likes not just Food That Commands Respect, but food that coshes your respect over the head and drags it into a dark alley to rifle its pockets for loose taste buds).

*grins* I've noticed that on the phone, ordering Indian from our local take out place "you want medium, yes?"

Personally, I like medium. Husband cooks with habenero chilis, though, so he likes his stuff... really hot.

Ah, I remember the chili I had to put lots of cheese in!

Though I am better than I used to be about spicy. I can order "American Medium" whereas before I was at "American Mild."

I think that happened more than once; T. likes to taunt you a little ;-)

It's OK, as long as there is cheese. Or milk to drink!

Here we like yogurt as a fire extinguisher. When my_partner_doug cooks East Indian feasts, there is usually a raita on the menu. When I made my Greek meatloaf, I made tzatizki sauce to go with it, even though the meatloaf wasn't highly spiced. But that tzatziki would do the same job with a hotter dish that raita usually does.

I know about the power of dairy! I enjoy the yogurt-based dipping sauce at our local Indian restaurant, especially if things get more spicy than I planned.

my_partner_doug likes habaneros for cooking, and also for salsa.

We've never made our own salsa, but we've grown our own chilis. T. once maced a guest out of the house drying chilis in the toaster oven :-D
