    I apologize if I came across a bit pompous there. Vinegar sauces have their use, for sure, and I wish you well on your journey! I’m currently trying my hand at W. African and Middle Eastern spices, and highly recommend Hot Ones for podcast entertainment in the hot sauce realm. 🖖🏽

    Also, word to the wise, don’t joke around with SE Asian restaurants by asking for “non-white” Hot. It will ruin your next 3-5 days. 🥲

        Yeah, I may have a male relative of similar age that, while on a family vacation with a bunch of us (and after several years of marriage to a woman born & raised in SE Asia) nonchalantly asked that his lunch in impressively (judging by the waiter’s reaction) low/non-accented <native language> prepared at the “traditional” heat level… To his credit, he finished the dish. He didn’t leave their hotel room for days after that, though. 😵‍💫 Don’t bring white knuckles to a spice fight. 🔥
