I get frustrated because I LOVE super-spicy food, but every time I go to a new Asian or Indian restaurant and ask for 5/5 spicy they're like, "We'll make you a 2/5" just to be safe because I'm very, very white.
I have literally never had food served to me at a restaurant that was too spicy for me. I've basically damaged my tongue with all the spicy food I eat, and I literally don't perceive Sriracha as being any spicer than banana pudding.
Genuine question: Are there many people who really perceive Sriracha as spicy? I never thought that it's meant to be really spicy, but more like a 'chili-flavored' sauce.
There are people who find it so spicy it ruins their day if it gets on their tongue.
I mean, sure. There are a few sensitive people for everything. I once met someone who found even regular curry powder super spicy. I was just wondering about the statement above, because in my experience Sriracha is the absolute entry level when it comes to 'hot' sauces.
