Spicy food survey!

[Metalhead]

How spicy do you like your food when you order Mexican/Thai/Indian cuisine?

Medium or hot is ideal for me with Indian food. I haven't tried Mexican or Thai food. I do wish to try Mexican at some point.

Medium or hot with sour cream/ yogurt/ something to take the edge off.

I was actually eating hot Italian sausage yesterday and was surprised there was not much kick at all.

My ability to eat spicy is slowly returning after a complete reset to zero in 2017. I went about 5-6 months with no solid food back then, and when I was able to eat solids again, black pepper was too hot, haha. I still avoid anything hotter than a habanero.

Whatever is the most spice that I can have while still tasting the damn food.

If all I taste is heat, there's no dang point to it. I wanna taste the food and have the spice complement it.

It depends for me. I like spicy food, but I find that what my local Indian place thinks of as spicy - is only mild for me.

I think they bland their dishes down for the average Western palate.
