However when it comes to Thai food . . . almost every place's "very spicy" is just about perfect, but I went to this one place and my friend Katie forewarned me to ask for "mild" . . . I said "NO WAY, I like super spicy food!" but she pleaded with me to not order "spicy" and if I HAD to, order medium. I didn't listen. When it arrived, it was seriously completely inedible. I ate it anyway, but I didn't taste ANYTHING but the spice. I'm not exaggerating. And for the next two days I had the worst time in the rest room. :/

The next time, I ordered "medium" . . . and it was still too spicy. Even for my absurd spicy-loving taste buds.
