We all have to live with some sort of bigotry, and mine takes the form of every restaurant underestimating my spice tolerance by an order of magnitude.

They’re very close by and otherwise delicious. I’ll never forgive missed salt. You get 0 do-overs for missed salt. But I’m not going to care too much about a little thing like spiciness. I’d prefer it, but it’s a detail at best, given the world I live in.

    I get what you're saying, but for some reason I just cannot enjoy curry that isn't spicy. I LOVE both Thai and Indian curry, but only if it is hot. I have luckily found places for both locally that will take my word for it when I ask for food as Thai Hot or Indian Hot.

    I mean, every curry is at least a little bit spicy. That just goes along with the spice mix. I’d prefer it to be beyond mild, but It necessarily keeps at least warmness. If I ever find a place that trusts my tolerance, is nearby, and doesn’t over-sugar, it’ll be my main choice.

    Which just reminded me of the Indian buffet that closed a few years ago. They had a kiln where they fired fresh naan by the pound per minute. At table side, they set mixing sauces to adjust the spice of their food for yourself. $20 for 6 freshly charred garlic buttered naans, 3 dishes, and an appetizer or 5. I’m deeply sad now.
