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).

That was an awesome and true portrayal.

Happens to me the first time I go to a new place. I speak enough of the languages to explain that "yes I mean that I want you to make it like you were serving it at home for your picky in-laws."

After the first time, they remember me. ;-)

Then of course, I drink hot sauce from the bottle for migraines... so I'm probably a statistical outlier ;-)

Whatever works. Mother's favorite remedy for colds and other sinus complaints has always been green chili.

Some places will remember me if I go there often, for various quirks.
