Never tell your server this at an Indian restaurant...

[Jamison]

Never say "I want to feel the burn!" when he asks how spicy you'd like your Chicken Vindaloo to be while ordering.

Fuck...I've been feeling it for hours now.:nuke:

5. I can see through time!!

"I can see through time!!" Lisa Simpson when eating Apu's vindaloo.

I *love* incredibly hot vindaloo, Can't get enough of the stuff. A friend of mine in college we ordered and said, we want it really hot, since they tended to make it too mild. WOW. The most intense spicy dish that was still edible ever.

7. I had dinner over at some Indian friend's house

they had these appetizers, and I had one and said "wow that's hot!" They were like, "if he thinks those are hot, how is he ever going to eat the main course? Because those are not even close to hot."
I will just have a bowl of plain rice please.
I asked for that at the hospital, and they put a bunch of spices in it. Hello, can I see my dietician? They said spicy foods are bad for my ulcers. So the hospital spices up my rice. :crazy:

8. People who always

say mexican food is the hottest food on the planet have never had Indian food is all I can say, it looks mild but once you swallow it going down :grr: you turn red.

[Richard Steele]

10. That's an important point.

I grew up in an area with NO real ethnic eateries...
so I believed the TV when it said that Mexican Cuisine was "spicey".

The TV LIED!!

Mexican food might occasinally burn my mouth,
but it's got NOTHING on Indian Specialties.

I once had a Mutton Saag that was so far BEYOND hot,
I didn't even feel it in my mouth...
My mouth was smart enough to go numb!
It felt like 2 tiny demons were holding little Bic Lighters
at the back of my eyeballs...

But it was so good, I couldn't stop eating it.
I TRIED to stop, but I couldn't!

It hurt SOOOO bad...I was crying like a baby,
but I just kept shoveling it into my mouth,
because it was just so tasty.

9. Tomorrow morning, you are going to have...

THE RING OF FIRE. (_*_)

Edited to add: :evilgrin:

11. Well, dah.

[TheBaldyMan]

12. Why not have one of the less hot curries next time

a Khorma is lovely; savoury and spicy, not hot.

Try a fish curry - usually very mild so you can taste the subtle flavour of the fish.

If you must have the hottest thing on the menu ask for some chutney or yoghurt as a side dish to cool things down, a spoonful of either will take turn afterburn off. And ask for plain rice not (pilau) fried rice with your curry.

13. Did that ONCE

"Hurt me"

They hurt me.

[Deja Q]

14. I know of only one person who eats chicken vindaloos

Yum yum, give me some!

[Catshrink]

15. Currys are rated by "beads"

That means how many beads of sweat form on your forehead... a 2 bead curry is milder than a 4 bead. This is according an old friend who spent time in India, although I've never heard it from anyone else.

16. There is a place in the Los Angeles area that has various

degrees of "hot". 1 is not very hot and 10 is scorching. The guy that owns the restaurant told me that one of his customers says 10 is too mild for him and likes it hotter. He told me that when he makes this guy's meal, he has to wear a face shield.

Now that's hot!!!

18. A friend of mine once whined about the salsa in a Mexican restaurant.

The waiter's reply was, "I think the chef can whip something up for you." He brought out this stuff that looked like nuclear waste. It was green and smoldering. It made me sweat just smelling it. My friend liked it though. :shrug:
