But for the street taco portion, she dumped an entire container of an unknown condiment on it, then mentioned that it was too spicy while her husband happily chomped his down. I assumed it was a spicy condiment in that case.
Overall, it’s really cute. Reminds me of those videos showing people listening to certain songs for the first time. It’s fun watching people joyfully dive into new experiences, like getting to experience it for the first time all over again.

I think that term implies “exceptionally well made”, like, you hired the good chef, y’know?

Same goes for Latin countries and i would expect it’d be similar in Mexico. Not all regions cook with the same level of spice.

It’s also confusing how often “spicy” and “hot” get used interchangeably.

the German “kaiser” is also a lot closer to how “caesar” was pronounced in antiquity, too. I guess they got it from the source and not through a Gallic filter like we anglophones?
so funny to watch all the hoity-toity historical programs here in the US where all the Romans are English (because they’re sooooo sophisticated compared to ugly Americans) saying all the dialogue in their proper recieved pronunciation and yet they’re still saying all the names with Cs in them wrong wrong WRONG.
Cicero is “Kikero” not “Sisero.” but no turning back now.
the Chinese couple is totally adorable. too bad about the exotic price tag for their food, though.

IDK why, but I have different responses to “spicy” food from different cuisines. I barely notice spice in Mexican food or Chinese food, and am much more affected by supposedly similarly spicy Korean and Indian food.

I wonder what I would get if I ordered a “Kaiser Salad”…?

AFAICT the pinyin for “Caesar” is “kai3sa3,” much closer to “kaiser” than to the American pronunciation. Then again, the salad was supposedly created by an Italian chef in Mexico, or possibly one of his restaurants in California, so I don’t even know how he would have pronounced it himself. I imagine from the beginning it alternated among Caesar/Cesar/Cesare?
