Indian food is known to be spicy and there's often a misconception that “spicy” and “hot” mean the same thing. So, Sam enlightened viewers once and for all on what these two words actually mean.

Sam explained, “Indian food is very spicy. It means flavorful, maraming spices, and it doesn't necessarily mean na 'pag 'spicy' [ay] maanghang.”

He also said that Indians have over 7,000 kinds of spices. So, that explains why Indian dishes are so flavorful.
