I went to an Indian restaurant a few months ago and was told was one of the better and more authentic ones, so I went, and it was very good. Anyway, I was asked if I want mild, medium or hot and I said hot. The waitress giggled a little and said are you sure, the chef's hot is really hot and most people have a problem eating it. I said, hot is fine. The chef came out to the table smiling at me and explained that his hot is very hot, he was a nice guy that immigrated to Canada and opened this restaurant, but I assured him that I wanted to test his hot. Anyway, he came out after and I told him that is advice was accurate but I ate it all, and it was very hot, no doubt, which was impressive to him apparently, I've been back since.
Anyway, sorry for derailing.
