      I had a Thai roommate with a 2-3 years old daughter. At one point I went to the kitchen to prepare my dinner and she was there cooking and snaking some vegetables with her daughter.

      It was bird eyes chili peppers! They were eating then like I would eat carrots, I tried the tiniest bit of it, had my mouth burning and we all had a good laugh about it.

      No kidding, I like to think I am pretty tolerant of spice for someone whose parents can’t handle too much pepper. Like I make my own butter chicken with two Serrano peppers. But most Thai places I get level 1 spicy and eat slowly or I can’t taste anything but fire.
