It really is good. Of course you get the ‘eat only on a dare’ food. Had some of that as a kid at Indian weddings (used to be custodian at my childhood church as a teenager and we’d rent the hall out for indian weddings and I’d hang around for the party).
I’d be like “what’s that?”
“Oh it’s dessert. it’s sweet. Eat eat”.
I eat. It’s sweet and then – BUUUUURNNNNnnn
Little no-beard white kid face all beet red, “it’s good… oh tha’ts hot – it’s good”… and they’d give me some kind of coconut drink or something, maybe chai i didn’t know – but it cooled it down a little.
They had fun as I tried out things.
