The hottest meal thus far

I had my hottest meal thus far today for lunch. Jen and I decided to try a new place today and they didnt speak any English. They thankfully had a menu in English, but it didnt offer much help in deciphering what was on it!
We decided to "play it safe" and ordered rice and chicken. The menu didnt point out that the chicken was drenched in chili sauce and had small cut up chili's all in it (both red and green). Well, if you know Thailand, you know that it's very rude not to eat something that is given to you (even if you ordered it). So small bite by bite, I tried my best to eat around the chilis and fill my mouth with 1 part chicken, 20 parts rice! My lips were on Fire!! My eyes were sweating, and my body was running through an array of hotflashes that felt so hot at times they felt cold! I managed to eat about 1/2 of it before I thought the hole in my stomach was going to eat through my flesh. At which time I put down my spoon, wiped my mouth, blew my nose and kindly asked for the check.
I think if I could have tasted the chicken, it would have actually been quite good.
