    I like that cultures that make spicy food, usually have a “mild” for their fellow countrymen, and a special “mild” for white people.

    The white person mild.

    I think that’s hilarious.

    For the record, I’m white and I appreciate having white person mild as an option.

      I get frustrated because I LOVE super-spicy food, but every time I go to a new Asian or Indian restaurant and ask for 5/5 spicy they’re like, “We’ll make you a 2/5” just to be safe because I’m very, very white.

      I have literally never had food served to me at a restaurant that was too spicy for me. I’ve basically damaged my tongue with all the spicy food I eat, and I literally don’t perceive Sriracha as being any spicer than banana pudding.

        I’ve had that happen at a few places as well, it’s pretty annoying. I’m also really short, and so I’ve had one restaurant swap what I actually ordered to whatever the closest equivalent on their kids’ menu is lol

        I literally don’t perceive Sriracha as being any spicer than banana pudding.

        Genuine question: Are there many people who really perceive Sriracha as spicy? I never thought that it’s meant to be really spicy, but more like a ‘chili-flavored’ sauce.
