But I don't like the burning!

I’d be quite surprised. The USA and Aus have quite a bit of spicy influence. India for UK, Thai for aus…sure many people don’t like spicy food but most do.

I loved in UK for a bit and remember being quite surprised that fàst food, like burger king, had proper spicy food.

Aussie here. I was in Bangkok this week and currently on a TGV hurtling across EU towards London.

The Thai food in Australia is not as spicy as the stuff in Thailand. It’s otherwise authentic.

The hottest Vindaloo I ever had was in a London pub. I haven’t been in the last 12 years, so I’ll measure this again. I also haven’t seen Foster’s beer on tap since my last London visit. Go figure.

Yes, but it’s spicier than a mild salsa from old El Paso.
