    British people happily eat hot curries so maybe extra mild is for grans or something. Even the mild salsa has almost zero heat on it.

      I’m British and consider myself something of a little bitch when it comes to curries. Madras is as far as I can go, vindaloo is over the line. I enjoy eating it but the older I’m getting, the worse the consequences in my guts.

        That’s the real problem. I love hot spicy food, but I can’t deal with the consequences.

        Sometimes if I can stay home alone the day after, I’ll eat something extra hot and nurse the wounds in private.

      I had to make my own salsa when I lived in the UK. I couldn’t find a single one with any flavour. Granted, I lived in a city without a car so my reach was only a mile or so for groceries/eating out, but still.
