    1. Yet regardless of what flag they put next to it, I’m still adding hot sauce because they rarely ever live up to their label.

    2. My team from work went to the a Thai restaurant for a celebration lunch. One of the team was from the Ghana, so he asked for his dish to be spicy. As spicy as the cooks liked it.

      He loved it and the chef had to come out to meet the guy who liked really spicy food. Apparently, there are these super hot little chillis in Ghana.

    3. It’s not real “Thai spicy” until you’re warned by a food stall owner in Thailand and decide “I can take it”…

      I could, but only while chugging Chang beers to survive the atomic level burning going on in my mouth

    4. Spicy is good, but having it be so hot it burns on the way out doesn’t appeal to me. I’ll take the medium one.

      Thai spicy food is another level. Few cuisines can beat it.

      Indian spicy is not one level; about 3 states account for the actual high heat level spicy food, Tamilnadu, Telangana and Andhra.

    6. That’s funny….

      I stupidly told the owner of a hole-in-the-wall Thai place (he spoke like 23 words in English) that the panang curry I had in prior visit wasn’t as hot as usual.

      That, my friends, was a mistake.

      I can still remember the sweat in my suit and tie…

    7. When asked “how spicy?” at a Thai restaurant, I always say “American hot”. It’s usually spicy, but nowhere near the extremes it could be.
