    That is such a perfect way to describe how “Indian hot” is offered! No malice, of course, just an honest warning!

      Why don’t you make hot a little hotter, make that the top number and make that a little hotter?

        Most places only have 10 hot, but if you’re chowing on 10 and want to go hotter, where can you go from there? That’s why ours goes to 11

          A friend and I went to an indian place and got their hottest dish. We both kinda shrugged at it, and the waiters took offense and brought out raw onions slathered in hot sauce. Eating those helped, but it still wasn’t really spicy, ya know? Neither of us are even the heat fanatics, habanero levels of hot are good enough, so maybe some places just do like 5s and hope nobody wants the 10s.
