One of my proudest moments as a white dude who likes spicy stuff was when a buddy and I were hanging out with some local guys while on a trip to Mexico. I was just chowing down on some super hot salsa and one of the Mexican guys gets real excited and starts calling me "the blond Mexican". I'm sure my wife is tired of that story, but I will continue to tell it to her for the rest of my days.
Achievement unlocked!
Well done, dude. It is a fine and honorable story to tell, and let no one tell you otherwise!
Woah. If there's one thing that excites me more than foreigners speaking Spanish, it's people eating our food how it should be eaten. Well done! I hope you enjoyed yourself.
The food culture of Mexico is amazing, and if you're eating at the right places there is usually no option but to speak Spanish! I've had to request "más picante" before, though generally that is at restaurants used to serving gringos. At tianguis or taco guys on the street there's usually no problem getting the spice.
Güero! Estas invitado a la carne asada!
