I'm British and consider myself something of a little bitch when it comes to curries. Madras is as far as I can go, vindaloo is over the line. I enjoy eating it but the older I'm getting, the worse the consequences in my guts.

Would probably be pretty useful as a way for getting my son to eat it. He's a right chilliphobe.

I cook all sorts of spice-free spicy food for him; the grown-ups can always add chilli at the table to liven it up a bit.

I had to make my own salsa when I lived in the UK. I couldn't find a single one with any flavour. Granted, I lived in a city without a car so my reach was only a mile or so for groceries/eating out, but still.
