3. Thai food, some kind of curry.

I also had some salsa in Mexico, that looked like it was made of chopped tomatoes. But those weren't tomatoes, they were chili peppers, and damn that stuff was hot. The Thai curry was probably the most exciting, though. It made us all sweat profusely and eat the steamed rice as fast as we could. BTW, water doesn't help with extremely hot food, it makes it worse.
