As a half Mexican, I remember the days when I used to think that my culture's food was spicy. But these days jalapeños and serranos might as well be bell peppers, compared the dishes I've tried over the years. Mexicans don't know what spice is.

    So what would you consider spicy now?

    I would consider a dish that is ordered "Thai Hot" at an authentic Thai restaurant to be a good minimum base level for spicy. Anything less is child's play.

    That's what I've heard as well. Unfortunately not a lot of authentic Thai restaurants here in Estonia. Will be sure to try one when I see a promising place and have an evening I'm prepared to spend in agonizing pain.
