Describing food with lots of chili.
خلفية ثقافية
Newari food is famous for being 'Kada Piro' (Strongly Spicy). If you visit a Newari 'Khaja Ghar', expect the 'Choila' to be very spicy. This region is the home of 'Akbare Khursani'. They often eat raw chilies with salt and rice. In the city, 'Momo' culture revolves around the 'Jhol' or 'Chatni'. People often judge a momo place by how 'piro' and tasty the sauce is. It is common to offer water or yogurt (dahi) immediately if someone says 'Piro cha'. It's a sign of a good host.
The Compliment Sandwich
If food is too spicy, say 'Mitho cha, tara ali piro cha'. It sounds much more polite than just saying it's spicy.
The Tato/Piro Trap
Always check if you are talking about the temperature or the chili. This is the #1 mistake foreigners make.
