Thai Cuisine, taste test

Yesterday in Thai Cuisine, we finally got to eat! Instead of learning the theory behind food (don't get me wrong, theory is extremely important, just not exactly what I signed up for), we got to taste! We ate three different kinds of basil, a flaky coconut sugar, tamarind, and some more that I seem to be forgetting.
But, the taste that left its mark on me spiciness; and of course this came from biting into raw chili peppers. Raw. Chili. Peppers. The big green one tasted like a bell pepper, no spice. However, the smaller the pepper the more spice it has jam packed into its seeds. I was a little weary at first about biting into the third and fourth ones (the really small red one and the small greenish one), but after some Thai girls bought me some milk and Carissa peer pressured me, I finally gave in.
It. Was. Spicy. Wow. Phrik Maak (very spicy).
Wish I had the sour patch that Anya and Sarah Beth got me just for this purpose, but alas, I had to make do with the sour tamarind and the milk.

I did it.
