    I’m Jewish and my wife is Indian. For our wedding, we had to print literature for my family to understand the original meanings of swastik symbols. For her family, many visiting from India, we had to include a brief history lesson about the Holocaust and the Nazi’s abuse of this symbol.




  • My mom once ordered some Thai curry for me while I was sick, and asked for it to be made “double Thai hot.” The server thought maybe she was playing a prank on me and requested that my mom get me on the phone to prove that I actually wanted the food that spicy. I told the server to tell the chefs to imagine that they hate someone and are trying to kill them with spiciness, then double that.

    That was some of the best food I’d ever eaten, and by far the spiciest until I started doing food challenges. Now I have GERD…


  • 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.
