There was an Indian restaurant I used to go to in Minneapolis. On my first visit, I asked them to make it "Indian hot, times two." The waiter kinda laughed at me, but I assured him I was serious. He shrugged, and took the order.

While eating it, the entire kitchen and wait staff kept peeking watching me to see what would happen.

It was delicious, and I damned near licked the plate clean.

I know this sounds like an "and then everybody clapped" story, but I swear to Zeus.

    White guy married into a Desi family: this is the truest story I've read.

    My wife can't handle spicy at all, her family enjoys what they call spicy, and I find jalapenos refreshing. When we go to Indian restaurants, my wife and I have to order each other's dishes because Desi mild is apparently hotter than white hot. One time, she managed to order my dish spicy enough that it made my eyes water. That was pretty cool.
