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 love the phaal curries I can get in the UK! Set your soul (and innards) on fire!
Would probably be pretty useful as a way for getting my son to eat it. He's a right chilliphobe.
I cook all sorts of spice-free spicy food for him; the grown-ups can always add chilli at the table to liven it up a bit.
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.
