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).

Oh, I *love* crystallized ginger as a snack. ::drool::

I do get the 'you can't handle it that spicy, little lady' thing once in a while, but there are enough chili heads around that it doesn't happen all that often.

My roomates have learned to keep their hands off my hot sauce though. :-)

It helps to have friends who are serious hotfans.

my_partner_doug collects hot sauces to some extent, and actually has one or two that require signing a waiver to buy.

I've seen some of those, and have chickened out on buying them.

My daughter who lives in Anchorage bemoans the fact that she can't get good hot sauce up there. I keep telling her to move back to Texas. :-)
