Peli Peli is revolved around the idea of sweet and spicy. That restaurant is considered as "fine dining." I agree that most fine dining restaurants don't usually have spicy dishes. That doesn't mean it's bland. Quite the contrary as it is usually very flavorful. My wife who loves spicyness at an abnoxious level doesn't add things like hot sauce to these types of dishes. But to call it "a mark of poverty-food" personifies what Texx is. A douche :grin: Thai Gourmet says hi.
Your post in itself...answers enough about you and your understanding of foods and culture...Did you ever consider that spices just dont grow in the aforementioned "high-end dining" countries and did you ever consider that. And because of that reason, they never incorporated that in their diet? You can only eat what you can if you have it available in your area. Do you even know why salt and pepper is in the diets of most American and why its used as seasoning? B/c it was something that was discovered in south Asia. Ancient Egyptians, the Romans and Greeks, Middle Eastern Cultures and European countries flocked to these locations in search of "spice." The reason for poverty in those countries have nothing to do with the types of foods they eat, and has everything to do with the number of people in a given area. You really are making a fool of your self as a person.
I'm talking about super spicy foods. That's what the thread is about. Stay on topic, son. This isn't a discussion of seasonings like salt, lol.
When I think of "high-end dining", I usually don't think of "good food". You might call me a simple man, but I find casual food much tastier than gourmet food.
Anyobody else find the life of a pepper ironic? I mean the whole reason they are "hot" or "spicy" is to prevent them from being eaten, yet that is literally the only reason you would eat them.
Stay on topic??? your post made this conversation even possible...you are totally ignorant...im enlightening your senile mind. These "super spicy foods" originate from countries that are readily able to grow super spicy peppers... These peppers only grow in these climates...and really have nothing to do with the level of poverty... Perhaps you should reserve your ignorant comments for the D/D threads...
Jalapeños is the highest? I guess that is where im at. I once ordered this New Orleans plate (cant remember the name) and the waitress asked me if i was sure for like 5 minutes. It was not spicy at all.
Whatever is between medium and thai spice from Thai Gourmet is the most I can take. I can't wait to go back to that place whenever I drop into Houston.
Sounds like a prank waiting to happen. Will this work? http://www.amazon.com/Trinidad-Moruga-Scorpion-Dried-Peppers/dp/B009UPBE5G
I don't understand how jalapenos are the pinnacle of spiciness in this poll. There are much spicier peppers and foods.
If you're talking about Thai Gourmet, then their levels are Mild, Medium, Hot, and Thai Hot. I've never heard them referred them as numbers. Unless you're talking about some other Thai restaurant that actually sucks.
This isn't by all means a scientifically accurate poll nor am I a connoisseur. I put up stuff that just popped in my head after lunch at a place that made really spicy pizza by Mexicans. They were made with "Jalapenos". If you feel you should extend the poll with another thread, by all means.
Enjoy it while you can because one of the first signs of middle age is no longer being about to eat spicy food.
Geez man. Medium on every dish has become too hot for me so we mix it family style with mild and medium. Thai hot? LOL. Speaking about Thai Gourmet, DAT OKRA.
Their okra is good? Didn't know. It's great food but they need to move it inside the loop or I wont be able to go but once a year.
