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).

I have an opposite problem. After I've been in an ethnic restaurant a few times, with "mild" sauces, and the staff recognize me, they keep adding spices to make my meals hotter and hotter, so that I can have the food prepared "right."

This makes me crazy.

(But, oh, I do so love crystalized ginger! That's a different kind of hot.)

That would pretty much make me quit eating there, if I couldn't get them to quit. My heat tolerance for anything but ginger is nearly nonexistent.
