Yep, you are right there. The main problem is how does the RESTAURANT
gauge a patron's tastes? Well, you can't. That's up to the customer.
Restaurants are forced to serve food to the populous not a minority of
fire eating chile heads ... hehehe, or in the case above, a perceived
chile head. ;-)
It's not everyone who can sit down and eat a small bowl of jalapenos.
In fact, most people DON'T just chow down on a pepper, typically, it's
used IN the food. ;-) I've been caught myself a few times when eating
some mongo big jalapenos at a local mexican restaurant. One one visit,
the waiter emphasised (after serving me countless times before) "THESE
are hot". Didn't look any different to me....but, tasted quite
different once I got near the stem. I've NEVER had jalapenos so hot
before!
We eat at a couple local chinese restaurants on the west side of
Indianapolis. We used to be regulars at a particular local chain when
we lived closer to I-465. They got to know me well enough to really
fire up General Tso's chicken for me. ;-) But, currently, I bring
along my bottle of chile paste and squirt it on. Better yet, when we
order out, I have a slection at home.
Anyway, good story. Gave me a good laugh for the day!
Ted
