The Chili Pepper
We rolled into Sa Keaw tonight and was happy we weren’t having a group dinner. In the last two nights, we’ve been “whited” - in which the past 2 nights the group leaders ordered for us and they must have told the chefs to make us “stuff white people like”. In other words, mild and not authentic - ie. kung pao chicken. So we asked our tour guides to order what they would normally eat un-whited. Even if that meant we were going to get our asses kicked, we wanted some real Thai spice. One of our dishes was a spicy pork salad that kicked our asses pretty badly. The culprit were the fiery peppers full of seeds which we then started to egg each other on to eat. The stakes became 20 points in Big 2 to Rahul. So now we are now betting on a bet - that’s what this trip has become. After some coaxing - Rahul took the bet…. Results in The Chili Pepper Part 2. Oh and the dinner was very spicy but damn good. -Karen
