I just had a memory float thru my head about the first time i ate at a Szechuan restaurant with some friends in nyc. I was new to the city and they wanted me to try their favorite dish. So i start eating and i comment that it's really hot! And they can't understand why i think so until someone asks "you didn't eat one of these did you?" Holding up one of the little hot peppers.
How was i supposed to know?
So I'm (i was?) the sort of person who doesn't watch what experts are doing closely enough to notice if they avoid something, if i think i know what I'm doing.
No deep revelation about what this says about me... but hopefully I'll learn eventually.
