    Maybe I just havent had the right ones. I’ve had spicy ramyeon, but not the kind that makes me regret my life or just cause pain on my tongue. I HAVE had that pain in the form of max level (5) Indian food and jollof rice, however. Well, I can eat level 5 Indian food without dying, but at that point I’m not enjoying/tasting the flavor as much as I’m just tasting tingles, so I just get level 4 as a haply middle ground.

      You could try Buldak if you haven’t yet. I believe they have a 3x spicy version, if you really want to go the extremes. The regular buldak is already too spicy for a lot of people.

      Yeah, I don’t find their noodles that particularly hot. I had some chettinad cuisine (mean valuvar) that was for real. I will say though that I’m some kind of big outlier for spice tolerance.

      If you visit Tokyo definitely go to Coco ichibanya and take their spice levels somewhat seriously. They go from 1 to 10, (and special 20 edition) and even with my habanero and ghost pepper loving self an eight can make me tear up.

      A couple swedish dudes came and sat next to me and ordered like a three or a four and had to order several glasses of milk. I have to assume most people from their country have experienced almost no spice at all.

        I think Buldak is the only kind I’ve had so far lol. I’ve had the spicy black packaging and the pink spicy carbonara kind, and I don’t remember hating it at all lol. Guess I have to try the x2 spicy kind.
