I included ‘eat a super-hot curry’ on my list because I’ve never been particularly good at spicy food.

My favourite ‘spicy food’ memory is of eating my brother’s leftover pizza as a teenager. That’s when I learned you can’t pick hot peppers off of pizza… it is still HOT.

Unfortunately I managed to order a spicy Lamb Vindaloo from the only Indian restaurant in the world that makes a mild Vindaloo. I ordered it hot. I said ‘a hot vindaloo’ because I wanted it authentic. I ordered a Chicken Korma as well, so I’d have something to eat after I gave up trying to eat the Vindaloo. I expected a burning tongue and lips, watering eyes and maybe even some sweat.

Instead, we enjoyed a super tasty Vindaloo that wasn’t even as hot as my usual Thai order. I’ll have to put this one down as tried and failed.

The world’s only ‘mild’ Lamb Vindaloo!
