This reminded me of a time the DH and I were in Chinatown in San Francisco and ate at a *great* Chinese place called The Empress of China. Had to go up a flight of stairs and we were the only Occidentals in the place. The DH asked for some Szechwan dish that claimed to be spicy, but the DH likes a bit of heat, so he ordered it. The waiter said, "Are you sure, sir? Is very, very hot!?" Well, you you can't tell him much, so he ordered it. Took one bite, his eyes *bugged* and he got a where-can-I-spit-this-out look on his face. I swear, smoke was coming out of his ears. He gamely ate a few more bites, then "helped" me eat *my* dinner. The waiter never said a thing, but had a small smile on when he removed the nearly untouched dish.

"If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner."
