[@Eltanin24]

I have that same problem in the US, and I can understand it, because good food gets wasted if someone sends it back or customers won't return if they cant handle it, which most can't. The first time i had near real szechuan food, I drove 50 miles the next day back to the restaurant , because I couldnt get over how good and sinus clearing it was. ive been hooked ever since. but it's annoying. I almost feel you have to earn spicy food street cred showing that you can handle spicy food, before they accept you and will make it the same way as they do for anyone else. but that true for thai , indian and korean restaurants as well. Except for Jamaican food... they dont seem to care.

I live the US, near, the Midwest, and I get "white boyed" all of the time when I ask for spicy, LOL. They're always sweet and apologetic when I point it out. 😂

[@MrThatGuyYouForgot]

This is my life. I'm a chili head but the fact that I'm white makes everyone think I can't handle spice. To be perfectly fair, it is not infrequent that white people say they love spice, but cayenne is hot to them. And yes, American, German, French, etc. cuisine is the least spicy. I get where they're coming from. However, I'm literally at the point in my chili head journey where all but the hottest foods, chilis, hot sauces, etc. aren't even hot to me. I have to buy my hot sauces from a special store. I'll watch people die eating something and it barely warms my tongue. When I go to an Asian place, and I say make it as hot as they can, I follow with something like "The hot sauce I eat at home is made with Ghost peppers. Please actually make it hot". That generally works.

[@JustTubing-dc3hs]

Hat's off to the last night dish. Now, that's "living locally" instead of doing the touristy moment. I can relate with my time in Asia, and doing those late night food dines after a night of drinking with best of friends. Yes, enjoying the local vibe - some resident playing drums, you sitting out in the side walk as cars drive by. Experience the ambiance of locality.

[@thefourthrabbit9516]

Another highly entertaining spicy food adventure! But, may I suggest...a completely opposite direction for your next food adventure: Find the greatest non-spicy food in China!! I love the diversity of Chinese food but my palate just cannot handle spicyness (the maximum level I can handle is 微辣). I am sure many foreigners have similarly ambivalent feelings about Chinese cuisines. I think in the past videos you have traveled to places with cuisines that are not known for their spicyness but their rich tastes or fresh seafood ingredients, like Canton, Anhui, and Zhejiang. But I don't know which is the "best"!

[@wenliu9571]

[@maxyang7919]

"Hugh??" and that was it? You should have told her the truth: "But I was here to film my challenge. It's not a challenge for me if they toned down the level of spiciness for me.". People in China are FINE with this type of comments. They won't feel blamed or offended if you just tell them in a lightly tone (which shows "What a shame..." instead of "How dare you!") or a self-mocking tone (as in "I came here all the way to film a challenge, only to find it got dismantled because I look like I can't handle spice! Lol").

[@kokovin6808]

Lol, even the local guy also looked surprised by the look on his face when he stared at the dishes as he mentioned he's also curious over the taste of the dishes 😁

[@CLONDONH]

The kitchen chef must be thinking: "Man, I did good today! I made those delicious dishes AND lowered the spicy level so that the foreigner out there could enjoy them! I ROCK!" Amy at the table thinking: "I didn't fly all the way here just to have a modified version of your food..." Server lady thinking: "What's the problem?" Liu would be looking down at the table thinking: "can I go now....?" LOL Jokes aside, it's very nice of Liu to come out and help Amy order some food. The first restaurant just accidentally 好心干坏事... lol They might be kind-hearted but the extra attention went to the wrong place LOL. But actually, I think if I went there with my friends (a bunch of ppl clearly not "local"), we'd probably end up getting the same spicy level as Amy did---and probably wouldn't even notice if we don't ask them about it specifically. LOL

I cook a lot and I can't even make such a dish in my own kitchen! ARRRGH!!! I am wondering if you are still in China or have you finally had to leave because of the tensions between that country and the rest of the world. I wish that people would stop with the saber rattling and settle down so all of us could get along. I don't see that happening any time soon which is a real shame. Anyway, maybe some day in a more sane time, perhaps I can get to China and if so, maybe we can see if you can you can exceed my spice tolerance level. Does that sound like a challenge you could accept? If not in China, then maybe someplace else. Thailand is also good for really spicy food, too. We will just have to see what the future holds.

我是湖南人。在中国吃辣的流行一开始是因为穷，买不起盐，盐在古代比较贵。没有盐的地方(贵州土苗即贵州人)用辣椒替代盐，提味而且促进食欲，还能用来腌渍食物。后来是因为大家发现吃辣刺激美味，所以才更加流行开了。特别是四川（包括重庆），明末清初时战乱导致人口大减，当时的湖广填四川行列中就有贵州人，带去了食海椒的饮食习惯。而川渝菜不太依赖新鲜辣椒，而是用干燥的辣椒和干燥的花椒。这些材料都能方便地运输到各个地方，便于现代四川重庆口味的扩散。 和排毒什么的其实没关系，因为广东也属于南方湿热瘴气之地，但是他们大多数人根本不能吃辣😂或者说这种玄学毛病也并不依赖某种饮食来缓解，古吃花椒茱萸，广东人喝凉茶，反正总有办法。无论湿热排毒论是不是真，都不是辣椒的流行的源动力

其實"代鹽說"本身就很有爭議，光憑一兩部地方志而缺乏佐證很難坐實，知乎就有人反駁過，也有點理據，其中有一點我很同意，就是現在重辣地區的菜不同時也重鹽嗎？如果代鹽說成立的話那為什麼沒多少只放辣椒不放鹽的菜流傳下來呢？
