Connor Challenged The Thai Spice Gods

[@Mryodamiles]

I’m Thai and there are plenty of Thai people who don’t eat spicy food. Generally speaking, central Thai food (around Bangkok) is very mild (not to mention the common Thai-Chinese food) and known to be very sweet compared to other regions of thailand. You will hear people from other region complaint about Bangkok bastardizing regional dishes by making them sweeter and milder (and generally missing the right complexity) • ⁠Southern Thai got a lot of curry paste, so that feel like lava entering your body and exiting your asshole. I get stomachache with really spicy southern Thai food. • ⁠Isan food tends to burn every cells in your month for a short time and then go away(after a cold glass of beer or whiskey soda). The spice level is extreme (assuming you order it spicy) but they don’t linger as long as curry based southern cuisine or northern cuisine. • ⁠Northern dishes tends to be greasy spicy kind but some curry base as well.

I think Connor forgot he is an European white man his spice tolerance might be good but it's not enough

[@kevboard]

with all the spicy food challenges around these days, I almost think thr average European these days eats spicier food than the human average. I am basically addicted to Samyang's 2x hot ramen for example 🤣 finally got my hands on the limited edition 3x, and loved it.

[@ShadowFox10587O]

​​@@Aman_MondalNo there's just a limit. I've seen my Indian friend in physical pain before. He assured me he was fine through the heavy breath watering eyes and excessive sweating. Apparently he overdid it but then again he added stuff on top of whatever was already in it. If Garnt is still alive it just means the restaurant isn't trying hard enough.

[@Aman_Mondal]

@@ShadowFox10587O Well as an Indian myself I have to say Indian dishes outside India don't have a proper balance of spice and pain ratio, most Indian food outside India either tastes bland or straight up tastes too painfully spicy to eat so yeah the middle ground is lost I guess same goes for Thai cuisine too

[@ShadowFox10587O]

@@Aman_Mondal Yeah I like spicy food but there's definitely a point of diminishing returns. I remember once we went to a wing place and they what they called "suicide wings". Basically instead of trying to enhance flavor they made it as spicy as physically possible just to say that they could.

CHEAP CURRY RAMEN HACK: curry ramen is expensive, but mixing your favorite curry powder with cheap creamy chicken ramen (such as Maruchan Creamy Chicken Flavor Ramen $5 for a case of 24) does it on a budget. Alternatively, add a block of ramen and curry powder to a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of milk, boil & serve. Or add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to 2 cups boiling water, 1 package instant ramen (Maruchan chicken flavor recommended, do not crush), and the seasoning packet in a medium pot and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add these upgrades: - THAI COCONUT CURRY RAMEN 1 package of instant ramen, prepared 3 tablespoons coconut milk ½ teaspoon green curry paste Juice from 1 lime 5 slices of jalapeño 1 tablespoon roasted peanuts, chopped 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional) To your prepared ramen, add coconut milk, green curry paste, and fresh lime juice. Stir to incorporate. Garnish with jalapeño slices, chopped peanuts, and chopped cilantro (optional). Pro tip: Try it with shrimp or rotisserie chicken for a hearty dinner ready in a flash.

Connor finally met his match

[@dnguyen253]

Viet food isn't spicy in general, but the people that do want it definitely can handle it. They'll take a fresh chili and bite it while to add spice.

[@eclipso6753]

Viet food can range with generaly bland flavor or very light flavor, especially in the north, to the extreme of sweet, spicy, salty and spicy in the south and central region

[@XETheSongWriter]

ohh, we do the same in india too nice to know about this :)

[@slipinoy]

Every time I visit home im like: "This sisig would hit if it was spicy."

[@princesserika9899]

Are you Filipino? Me too 😁

[@isoprops3861]

There was this sisig chain I ate from where they let you choose the spice level you want. Of course I picked the spiciest one. Ngl the sisig was... okay, but man did the spice hit the spot.

While playing DnD we ordered pizza and our Host offered me and another guy of our grp a fresh chili from his neighbors garden, since we are known to eat spicy af stuff for fun. The other guy was hesitating and i told him "dont be a pussy lets eat the full thing each", so we did. It was the best tasting chili i ever had, didnt even feel that spicy at the beginning... until it hit the throat. About 30 min later he started to feel sick and had to lay on the couch, sweat dripping out of every single pore, he was laying there for 3 hrs and was borderline KO, during that time i had to sit on the couch for about 30 min as well but felt pretty good afterwards. we kind of decided to stop the session for the day and resumed the next day. During the night i had the revenge, i think i spent 4 hrs on the toilet in a semi sleeping state because not sitting there would have been very dangerous

[@TreeGGwi]

[@Gottaloveaxolotls]

You a brave and evil one for putting a mate up to it and then doing it yourself.

[@XNecroEyesX]

@@Gottaloveaxolotls Kinda forgot to mention that none of us knew it Was a ghost pepper at the time. We only learned that a few days later

[@Gottaloveaxolotls]

@@XNecroEyesX “are not brave, but foolish” Jk but how does that even happen? I can’t imagine something like that growing in my neighbours’ garden and then eating it on a random dnd night.

[@XNecroEyesX]

@@Gottaloveaxolotls afaik the other friend who got them from the neighbor in the first place just didnt listen and assumed its just "normal" homegrown spicy chilies. When he offered them to us he warned us that they are super hot but me being the spice lover i am obviously wanted to try anyway^^ 10/10 would eat another ghostpepper raw just maybe Grab some milk with it next time xD The other guy certainly will never Touch anything that even resembles the name ghostpepper :S

Chef : Are you challenge me ?

[@sejembalm]

THAI HOT: Thai food is a favorite, but I learned not to order it "Thai Hot". Years ago, I went to a favorite Thai restaurant (Tommy's Thai Restaurant, 3410 E Colfax Ave. Denver, CO.) and ordered the Sriracha Ginger Beef. The waitress asked if I wanted it mild, medium, hot, very hot or Thai hot. I usually order it very hot, but I felt adventurous and ordered it Thai hot. ...BIG MISTAKE!! There was a world of difference between spicy levels 4 and 5! Burned my lips and tongue eating it and gave me a bad stomach ache later. Plus, it made the food taste terrible, like it was chemically hot, as if they dumped some nitric acid on my food. Yecch! Plus, it burned going out later on the toilet! Is this some sadistic, sick joke?? Don't go full hot at spicy food joints! You may regret it! Let the people with something to prove get gastric ulcers and acid reflux.

[@guppy719]

Thai hot really depends on the places some places hot is hotter than others thai hot.

[@sejembalm]

No doubt,@@guppy719 ! A local Thai place's "Thai hot" is a tasty version of Tommy's very hot, but nowhere near THEIR Thai hot. The ridiculously super-hot versions of Thai and Indian food taste chemically hot and have terrible flavors and only offer pain.

[@Chaka2225]

I love spicy food, always wanted to try some authentic Asian spice 🔥

[@wegocray3830]

If you want some asian spicy food you can add to your meals or just snack on, make a chili oil, ofcourse differs from each country but over all it uses the same ingredients and I will give you the recipe(although I cant give you full measurements since I use the asian measuring method)/ingredients I use to make my own version of it. Chop about a kilo or half of some "Siling Labuyo" but Thai Chili is also good, just roughly chop them to small slices and do not remove the seeds inside. Next dice about 4-6 whole garlic bulbs. Next is on a wok or a deep pan, pour about 4 cups of oil (Not really sure about how much it is but make sure that the oil is an inch or a half from the chili when the chili is in) the heat it until you cant place your palm ontop of the pan and then you can put the garlic and chili in. Stir it a bit so that everything gets cooked evenly (optional: Put about 8 packets/1 cup of oyster sauce for a bit of sweetness) then once the garlic is golden brown or until everything is crispy (this depends really, you can cook it with the only the garlic being crispy and the chili being soft but I just really prefer them crispy) take if off the stove then cool it down. Once it has cooled down, find an air tight container/jar and enjoy! You can pretty much add it to everything, snacks, ontop of rice, soup, meat etc. But if you want to do less work, you can just again chop 1-2 handful of Siling labuyo/Thai Chili and then put it on preferably a glass bottle with a lid then pour vinegar in it. Dont know why but I just felt the need to share it hahaha.

[@Chaka2225]

@@wegocray3830 appreciate it 🙏

[@lrx001]

I have IBS and this video was just like a horror movie to me lol. I can't have anything spicy or I will be on the toilet for hours/days. Black pepper and paprika are my limits as far as spice goes (yes, yes you can all make fun of me for it). Also straight up even when I could eat spice as a kid/early teen before my stomach issues got really bad I hated it. I hate feeling like my mouth is on fire it ruins it. But whatever works for you boys!

If you wanted Thai sausage just switch seats with Joey

[@anisahs2110]

Can’t help to be happy with 🇲🇾 high ranking in spicy levels among ASEAN. I tend to feel that our spicy food don’t get recognised enough. Southern provinces like Malacca are known for their love of spicy like the Asam Pedas dish, it’s especially hot if you’re eating at a relatives house!

[@LazyDoers]

[@psychojoe4764]

I love and can handle so much spice that ive never been able to eat green peppers just bc theyre so horrifically bland. Jalapeños have basically been my green peppers since i was like 10

[@DenshaOtoko2]

But Hunanese and Shiquanese are the spiciest Chinese food.

[@TreeGGwi]

Vietnamese food isn’t innately spicy but you can just add sriracha

[@anisahs2110]

What’s the spiciest Vietnamese dish?

[@eclipso6753]

​@@anisahs2110We don't really have any very spicy dishes, most people add spice with chili or hot sauce while eating

[@BryoMoss]

Sriracha is not that spicy from a Thai standard tho, it’s more like a sweet and sour sauce to us which you eat with omelette, noodle or fried stuff…basically our version of “ketchup”

[@kayagorzan]

@@BryoMossI think they mean the Vietnamese sriracha which tastes “sharper” than Thai sriracha
