I love hot spicy food even though it makes me itch, but when a friend challenged me to join him last night at a curry restaurant famous for setting people on fire (not literally of course!) I accepted.
The dish looked scrummy and smelled amazing; the steam was so spicy it made my eyes water and my ears itch but undaunted I shovelled the first load into my mouth.
“ **** ”, I yelled, louder than intended and a restaurant full of red sweaty faces turned in my direction, then after croaking an apology, having a scratch and a gulp of water, I was off again.
Itching from head to nether regions I battled on, one hand eating, the other scratching and that’s when it started; hic, burp, itch, hic, burp, parp, scratch, burp and as I couldn’t stop I admitted defeat.
Last night I kept leaping from my sweat soaked bed to have a scratch, nip to the loo or both at once, and I still haven’t recovered.
Oh no, here we go again, I must dash to the bathroom… quick… quick… quick...too late!

I like moderate spice; but not too much. Interestingly, I get to hear that many people in the West too have taken a liking to mildly spicy food.

We do not have designated curry places in my area of Alaska. Someday I do hope to try one though- and yes, I know I have been forewarned!

Heeheehee! Remember, you want food spicy enough to spice up your life but not spicy enough to make you rethink your life choices.
