      You speak like someone that has never met a British person never mind not having been to the UK.

      The national dish of the UK is curry. There is curry everywhere.

      I went to an Indian restaurant in America the women actually lived in the UK and we was chatting. I ordered a hot curry and it was fine.

      But the Mexican woman behind me ordered a vindaloo which is a pretty standard dish in the UK. The Indian said “you had this before? Its very hot”

      But “no but it’s fine I’m Mexican. I can handle my heat”

      “I’m just warning you it’svery hot. You sure you want it? Maybe you want x, y, z instead if you ve never had it”

      “I’m good with heat. My family always makes things spicy”

      Anyway it came and she ate less than 10% of it before getting it boxed up.

        You’re speaking to a person who will literally eat raw Carolina reaper peppers as a snack. 😋
        I’ve been eating hot Mexican salsa since I’ve been 3 months old (older sis gave it to me and I loved it) and dranking hot sauce out of the bottle pretty much my entire childhood. I will literally go far beyond my crying point and still keep going because it just tastes that good. Even when my tongue has become numb from pain, I still keep getting at it.
        Meanwhile, You bri’ish fucks are why “Mayo spicy” is a stereotype.

        Eh, there are different kinds of “spicy”. Depending on how dead your receptors are after eating that “spicy” food before.

        So if you don’t notice some kind of spices anymore, and are going to try the same amount of something you’ve not tried before, it may be painful until your receptors are dead to that too.

        Personally I think it’s simply bad taste and bad cuisine to put large amounts of spices and salt into food. You should feel the actual flavor of what you are eating behind spices and herbs and salt and sugar and what not.

            The objective part I’ve checked experimentally many times, so fsck right off.

            The subjective part doesn’t require your approval. Think that moment in the “Green Book” movie about “salty” and people unable to cook.

              Dont post opinions publicly if you can’t cope with people disagreeing. And maybe chill out

                I was chill typing that, just intentionally rude.

                Also harmful advice. You should do whatever you want in any case, including

                post opinions publicly if you can’t cope with people disagreeing

                , if you want to preserve your sanity.

                  This is just my opinion, but being intentionally rude isn’t nice. I can understand it when someone has been really egregiously offensive but when you’re discussing how much spice should be in food? Come on
