DazharionOne way to get the point across
ALoafOfBreadThai food in Thailand is nowhere near as spicy as “Thai Spicy” or even “Hot” Thai food in the states, in my experience. Some places I went it approaches or slightly exceeds “Hot”, but on the whole I think the spiciness of Thai food is way overblown.
mfed1122Yeah I’m convinced that Spicelords are just sad literally tasteless people who can’t enjoy food on a culinary level as much as they can on a competitive level. Anyone who likes it so spicy that you’re mostly tasting spice, I’m not impressed bro. I can eat like that too. I just choose not to because I have actual taste. Don’t say this “ohhh but I’m used to it so I taste the flavor too” no you don’t, you taste a sad mangled version of the flavor through the spice. How many professional taste testers or culinary geniuses or famous chefs are scarfing down 5000 billion Scoville Ancient Ghost of The Demon King Peppers? Oh right, none of them. Fuck
socsaI mean it’s like getting a taste for bitter things - once you are used to it, the flavor is more than just “spice.” I have four different bottles of hot sauce over 1M scoville, and I can easily tell them apart by taste and smell. It opens up an entirely new realm of flavor profiles once you can tolerate the spice and taste what comes with it.
For sure, for sure. I don’t mean to disparage spice itself. I also judge people who refuse to have spicy food (unless it’s for medical reasons ofc), and the classic bland food fan who thinks black peppercorn is spicy. I guess I just pretty much am judging everyone aside from the Goldilocks zone people who appreciate and value spice but also don’t place it above everything else or turn it into something its not
