   The spiciest I've had here is like a 4-star dish from a Seattle Thai restaurant. Most of it is in the 1 or 2 star range. All really mild stuff.

   In Thailand I brushed my fork across a chili pepper and then lost the feeling on one side of my mouth from the spice... They don't play around over there.

     I think spice exists on a scale that is usually fixed in childhood. My wife (asian) doesn't even blink at dumping habanero salsa on things. I eat the normal "picante" salsa here in central Mexico with no problem, ones that locals tend to avoid as super spicy. My wife couldn't handle Thai level spice when we visited Thailand and had to order the medium level of spice. It's all relative.

     @gentoobro @lain @rin @sim @hakui it might be where you're staying at, because even by latinam standards, Mexican food is really fucking spicy depending on the region. Traditional food from my country isn't actually spicy, but growing up here all my life with Chicanos conditioned me to eat spicy regularly lol
