Day 04: Your Preferred Degree Of Spiciness
For a long time I told folks that I didn't like spicy food. I've changed my mind. I dig spicy food now, I suppose if I were at Zyggy's and they asked me (as they do) what level of spiciness I want I would tell them six. I suppose that's medium, slightly-above medium? I'm a big fan of red pepper but I've never been a huge hot sauce fan. Aaand I dig curry, garam masala mixes, etc. Though recently (Wednesday) I went with Sara, Matthew, Shad, and his sister to Bombay Grill for dinner. I'm a big fan of that restaurant, one of my favorite in CU. Well, I hadn't ordered anything with the little chili pepper icon next to it before. I probably won't again either. I can handle it but not much at a time, I still have left-overs in my fridge. Alternately I ordered two (out of three) at Siam Terrace and my meal didn't taste spicy to me at all.
I think telling someone how spicy you want your food to be can be pretty arbitrary.
