Lone Goat posted:Sure, don't call it a gift though. If you make dinner and I bring a dessert I'm not calling it a gift when the expectation is we're going to share it with the meal. Why is a drink any different? obviously it is just another social etiquette thing. No one brings along some weed or a bottle and says "I am herby gifting you this" or generally not stating "this is not a gift" although people do sometimes take a bottle and a couple of tumblers I guess. My bro is always taking along physical gifts as well; golf balls from St Andrews, official registered tartan, toys for the kids, that sort of thing, that never stopped. If you bring along a desert and they bring out a different one after the mains are finished with no mention of the one you brought, do you complain like you are at a restaurant? You probably don't care enough to ask for it specifically and for a lot of people/cultures, you never complain about what is served up by a host. Go along to get along but feel a bit disappointed you don't get a go at that Mississippi mud cake made with fuggin flash single source chocolate and probably don't bother next time or get something different - maybe they are allergic to chocolate? It is low stakes, it's not a big deal whether bro-in-law gets some single malt whisky or not. I just always open up the bottle if someone brings something nice along or save it for when they are around another time if the timing was not good immediately.

I love me some spicy food and come off a chili farm but people get themselves in way too deep way too often, I nearly always err on the side of ordering too mild for my taste but better that than going for hero points and not enjoying your meal. It's been a couple of times I have swapped my "medium" for someone else' "spicy" because they couldn't eat their own order. Interesting on the "white people spicy" Chinese though, I found West African and Portuguese spicy to be hotter than Chinese food I have had so maybe I have only had dilute strength Chinese?

There's a weird thing with spicy food and serving food temp that I noticed when eating some type of hot-pot for the first time with some Vietnamese friends. It's a place where they put a grease burner under your soup bowl so the soup is constantly boiling while you eat it. I absolutely could not handle that for more then ~20 mins and asked the waiter to put the flame out, while my friends had no issue, but then they thought it was spicy when I didn't. Same friends I've been out with other times, and they really don't like classic 'American' style spicy food like hot chicken and think it's too much, but then eating a traditional thai/viet meal with different types of spiciness rather then drenched in chili powder they do much better with it.

I just like enjoying my food. It's not a challenge (outside of just trying unfamiliar things to see if I like them).

Spicy food served very hot is definitely a bigger challenge, especially hot soups that cling to your tongue to really let the spice linger and settle in. But some of the best flavours are hidden behind the spice, so we endure.

D34THROW posted:Who in the blueballed gently caress can eat boiling liquid? With hotpot, you generally are not eating the broth (which is kept at a gentle boil, in my experience, not a full on rolling boil) until the meal is done, and the heat is turned off. It's instead used to cook other raw ingredients.

D34THROW posted:Who in the blueballed gently caress can eat boiling liquid? You're supposed to let the soup cool down in your own bowl first before you actually consume it. The soup is kept simmering in the central hot pot so you can add meats and vegetables into the pot throughout the meal. Most hot pot places have a big communal pot for the whole table, although there are some places where every individual gets their own pot.

if someone kept a gift I gave them all to themselves and didn't try to palm it off on other people, I would assume that they really like the gift and would like more, rather than the exact opposite

Sort of, but it was personal hot pots like big soup bowls in front of you  The metal box is where they put those catering burners under it to keep it hot.

Sichuan food has total dominance and honestly generally it's not considered that spicy in comparison. Sichuan food uses a fusion of the numbing and heat spice, and adding a ton of raw heat spicy is actually usually considered the result of a fusion with Hunan cuisine! Anyway I really miss spicy food oh my god where do I find some someone send help

There's a whole routine on how to eat it, but the appeal is defiantely that for the meat and vegetables you eat them very quickly before they appreciably cool down. There's a bowl of rice you mix with the food and soup too.

My favorite part about this is you can't really know until you, yourself, are old, what advice is actually good and what isn't So it's kinda fuckin' useless but it's nice that old folks try to save people time! Unfortunately nothing matters until you experience it yourself.

People who eat spicy food they hate because it makes them feel macho or whatever are similar to folks who will drink alcohol they don't actually like the taste of for similar reasons. Please, I'm begging you, if you think a drink is so gross and icky that you have to drink it as a "shot" and then quickly lick something to get the icky yucky taste out of your mouth just drink something you like instead? And leave the stuff you don't like to people who will actually enjoy the taste?
