I love tteokbokki. It’s not widely available in my area, the closest place to get it is an hour away. So I buy a bunch of instant cups of it whenever I go to the asian store that sells it. Usually it’s €3,50 but today the spicy variant was on sale for only €1,99. So I bought 10 cups of instant tteokbokki. I’ve never had the spicy one before, but it can’t be that bad, right?

Wrong. I overestimated my tolerance for spice, and I’m currently very slowly choking down a cup of the stuff, glass of milk next to me. I’ll have to eat the remaining 9 cups, I can’t just throw them away. I’ve tried to feed them to my family but they don’t like it either. I feel humbled and painfully white, I thought my spice tolerance was alright. I guess I was wrong. Maybe after I’ve eaten enough cups my tongue will be numb enough to enjoy it.

TL;DR: tteokbokki too spicy. i’m a weakling.
