Whilst in Malaysia, at a Restaurant, I ordered Rogan Josh.
The waiter tried to talk me out of it saying it was too hot for Westerners.
Of course, we do silly things sometimes. :slightly_smiling_face:
I ordered it, suffered badly eating it and suffered worse the next morning :pleading_face:

It can’t happen because I give spicy things a wide berth.

Wise decision. No surprises then.

I grew up around a lot of spicy food. Once it gets past a certain level, it’s inedible for me, so I don’t remember what the spiciest was. I had a roommate who was from Indonesia. She ate some spicy stuff. I didn’t eat much of it.

Food can be too spicy. Detracting from the enjoyment of the dish.

Hi

Different Spice Ripple, he is referring to the film Dune.

The hottest thing I have ever had was a Thai Green Mango Salad.

It thought it be be really nice and cooling on a hot afternoon, big mistake, my mouth was on fire.

I hate spicy. Once I pinched someone’s what I thought was a chocolate covered nut but was actually wasabi and spat it across the room.The other people in the restaurant were not impressed.

It is a line from the 1984 film, Dune. Loved that film.

The Spice Melange , commonly referred to simply as 'the spice’ , was a naturally produced awareness spectrum narcotic that formed a fundamental block of commerce and technological development in the known universe for millennia

Best film ever
One would think a Mango Salad would be cool and refreshing. You never enjoyed it then?

Meanie :grinning:

I definitely stay away from Wasabi, and Horseradish :nauseated_face:

Everything has chilli in it now, doesn’t it?

Sometimes I think it’s a lazy way to pimp up dull food and cheap ingredients

I’ve had very hot curries but the hottest thing I ate by accident was wasabi when it was served up with some sushi, nearly blew my head off!

@Bretrick To this day I don’t know it’s name but it nearly blew my head off. Many years ago as a youth, I was dating a girl of Caribbean descent who took me back to meet her family. They fed me summat that I swear was dynamite based, but I should have guessed cos swapping spit with Verita was definitely a very spicey adventure :astonished: .

Or it’s salted. What is it with all this salted caramel stuff eh? I like my salt on the table to add if I so wish, not already in whatever it is I’m about to eat.
