Ping
Is there any place in the Bay Area this spicy. Because I haven’t found it.
When I lived with a Nepali family, the first night they served daal, bhat, tarkari with about a dozen to twenty dried red chilis in the vegetables. That blew my mind.
So thereafter, they made the dish with about 4 chilis, and ate the others raw with the dish. Sat there eating raw, dried chilis. Wow. I like hot food, but really.
LOL Yankees. Did mean old chili peppers burn her tongue? Boo hoo hoo!
I love NY, but they really can be wusses about spicy food.
We ate there frequently, and began to notice that about once every other meal, one of us would drop out of the conversation for 10 or 15 minutes, drinking their beverage and whatever beverages (mostly Singha beer) they could obtain, with urgent gestures but not speaking, from ours or any nearby table.
After some careful observation and repeated trials, we determined that there were some tiny seeds, like apple seeds, usually left untouched in the bottom of the serving bowl, which occasionally would make their way to our mouths, causing the burning.
No taste, no smell, no "feel" ... just fire in the mouth.
I have never been impressed by the heat level of Indian cuisine, but to my wife’s disgust I really like Korean food. However, my diabetic tendencies keep me from consuming any rice, so I seldom indulge.
Sounds like a challenge for Man Vs Food.
I love Thai food. I used to go to a place in St Louis on the Loop that had a soup with little shrimp and a little rice, and some squid that was way hot. We called it sock soup because it smelled like sweaty socks. And it would break a little sweat but it tasted so good. I ordered it hot. but it came mild too for the lightweights.
And the rest of the food was super good too.
Am a Curry Monster meself... trained for two months on Blair’s Mega-Death before tackling the p’hall. Seeing the photo of that dish brings back cold sweats. It looks so harmless in the picture :-)
Curry!
It’s what’s for dinner!
Also, very, very good for you.
