Hi pods, I had lunch at a Thai restaurant in Gothenburg (Sweden) today. The food (lunch buffet) was okey but not hot enough, so I had to spice it up myself. They had a bowl (about one cup) of small and really tasty fresh sliced chile peppers in fish sauce next to the other food, and I emptied the whole bowl over my food and asked for more chile pepper. They filled the bowl again in due time for my second plate of food, and I emptied it once again over my plate (my second serving of food) and asked once again more chile peppers. This time they told me that the food would be to hot too eat if I used more chile peppers! It is hard to live in a country there people normally don't eat hot food. Do you ever have the same problem in your respective countries?
