moonsnotreal ( @moonsnotreal@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 48•2 years ago Especially_the_lies ( @Especially_the_lies@startrek.website ) English39•2 years agoI went to an Indian place once and asked the waiter to make my food spicy. It was kinda medium-spicy, and when the waiter asked if it was spicy enough, I–stupid white boy I am–said no. He took the dish back to the kitchen. He returned a little later with the chef. They both watched me take a bite and regret my decision. Through the tears, I told them the Spice was just right. They laughed.
betwixthewires ( @betwixthewires@lemmy.basedcount.com ) 43•2 years agoPro tip: don’t ever tell a Thai cook their food isn’t spicy enough. They take their spice seriously, they take pride in it, and they like to dig it in a little if you ask for it spicier.

bitsplease ( @bitsplease@lemmy.ml ) 4•2 years agoIdk about you, but a really spicy pad Thai is 🔥
Bananigans ( @Bananigans@lemmy.ml ) 4•2 years agoMaybe, but I think his point is that pad Thai isn’t a spicy dish to begin with. So it would be a weird complaint to make in the first place.
bitsplease ( @bitsplease@lemmy.ml ) 5•2 years agoI don’t pretend to be an expert on thai food, so I can’t speak to the “traditional” way to prepare it, but in my experience pass thai being spicy is about 50/50 at restaurants I’ve been to, and there certainly isn’t anything wrong with asking it to be made spicy
Bananigans ( @Bananigans@lemmy.ml ) 5•2 years agoIf Thai people can throw tuna on waffles, I think you can have your pad Thai however you want.

MisterD ( @MisterD@lemmy.ca ) 6•2 years agoMeanwhile, OP doesn’t say if it was spicy enough or if he went to the hospital because it was too spicy
atlasraven31 ( @atlasraven31@lemm.ee ) 6•2 years agoI tried this at an Indian place. Regretted it. I don’t recommend anything above 5/10.

Engywook ( @Engywuck@lemm.ee ) 2•2 years agoThere’s anything like “too much spicy”. Capsaicin FTW!
