How is that supposed to be pronounced? I always thought it was Kar-ee-oo-kee.

Ka-ra-o-ke. The “ra” is midway between a “la” and a “da”, and the “ke” is like Spanish “que?”.
The word “kara” means “empty”, so karaoke = “empty orchestra”, karate = “empty hand”, and karado = “empty head”.

LMAO.
Head = “to” but nigoru?
Ha ha ha![/quote]
My original assessment was “do” as in “michi” with the allusion being to a dark, lonely, deserted street with a tumbleweed whistling by, but “Empty Street” got superseded by “Colonel Mustard”, and the rest is history.

I bought that stuff because I was told it was spicy.
Perhaps for the elderly and those recovering from surgery.

I seem to recall you showing disdain for those that judge their manliness by their tolerance of spicy foods and and the size of their dogs.

Cock sauce comes in hot? Good to have options.

I do…that’s why I now laugh at people that call this stuff spicy. I never brag about spice-eating abilities and this stuff here seems to be the badge that those jerks use.

Yeah, after Thailand, Indonesia, and Korea, my taste buds have sort of a revised definition of what is considered “spicy”.
Indian vindaloo curry, and those little fucking green Thai chilies: those make Sriracha and Tabasco seem pretty tepid in comparison. Is Taiwanese cuisine pretty spicy? I’ve only ever had it once, in Tokyo, and it didn’t seem so.

Lol, What?? The only thing this sauce should be compared to, is how incredibly tasty it is compared to other spicy sauce. It’s incredibly versatile.

It can be if they use those little red peppers. They’re just sort of painful spicy without and sweetness or subtlety. Sort of like eating a bowl of sugar when you feel like going for something sweet.

What is Taiwanese cuisine like anyway? Fairly light and subtle, lots of seafood?
And yeah, I’m not really sure you can call Sriracha or Tabasco spicy after eating Thai birds eye chilies and Sichuanese doubanjian.
@Varq.
I have heard that the “th” sound originally came to the anglo-saxons from old norse, is this true? or is it an myth we germanic barbarians
up here in the cold north likes to tell ourselves?. I for one find it weird if its true since anglo-saxon where after my knowledge very
similar to old norse.

I’ve tried everything on the Taiwanese menu once and i have to say…I don’t like it.
They have the ability to take food and make it taste like it was made a week ago and left out in the sun.
I mean it’s not like Japanese or Korean food. I think it’s too pungent and everything is brown. They think mushrooms are incredibly flavorful. I do not.

I had a massively disappointing “Thai” dish about a month ago. A strip mall type of places version of thai was to make a typical american/chinese dish, then just dump coconut milk on it.
Blech!

I’ve found that creek is pronounced “crick” in the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho (maybe Kansas and Nebraska) and even there it far from being a universal pronunciation.
Do any of you know if it’s pronounced that way in other parts of North America?[/quote]
I’ve heard it in Missouri too. I can’t recall whether it was more central or southern though. It’s been awhile.

So what do you normally eat?
Does your girlfriend cook for you? What about her family?

I eat mostly N. America stuff. I mean sometimes I get Taiwanese breakfast stuff like dumplings or sticky rice wrapped around egg and pork floss, and I will eat the stuff that I don’t consider too wacky on occasion, but my girlfriend makes fresh stuff like chicken, fish, salad and so on with brown rice.
Hotpot is great and there are many other local things I eat, I just basically am done with stuff that when people give it to you they say “Try this!” instead of “Would you like some ____ ?”
