"spicy food" doesnt mean the same thing depending on cuisine. Different types of heat are used in different dishes.

I can eat mexican meals for days and have no issues, cholula and all.

Meanwhile mild indian is usually a treat that sets off a small bomb in my gut.

Also, people make fun of americans like we dont have fuckloads of hot sauce brands all over the place. We live next door to mexico, guys, we have plenty of spicy cuisine.
