Thank you for this advice! I always felt too nervous to ask for things to not be made spicy or like it was a faux pas of some sort haha As for specific continent, I’ll have to give that more thought because I’m kind of interested in just diving right in and trying anything! Thanks again and I’ll update with any preferences I may come across!

You’re welcome! And to add… It’s ok to go in and say, “This all is new to me and I have no clue what I’m doing. Can you help me navigate this menu?” Just be honest and they’ll take care of you. Ask follow up questions to learn more about the dish, like “Is that fried?” Or “It sounds like that’s more of a broth-based dish, right?” That way, you’ll have fewer surprises. And remember to tip generously for those who help you on your culinary journey!
