Spice ratings annoy me so much! I can eat one meal called flaming hot and it's cooler than another that is warm or sometimes even mild.

The burning they experience was nothing to do with the spices.

My mum was cooking, I’m very sorry, she cooks for my dad’s palate.

I can only imagine that it's just blander because "mild" here is pretty much spiceless. Hot is baseline mild spice. Extra spicy is what I think of as being spicy, and then everything above that is if you want the burn but none of the flavor.
