I once ate a Thai pepper on a dare and after a day or so, I finally stopped drooling uncontrolably. Just in time to enjoy my poos of flame.
But I've had some incredibly tasty mild and non-spicy curries. Most of the restaurants I go to ask how spicy you want it and then (perhaps more importantly) actually listen to you and prepare it to taste.

No turnips? Sounds like you might have been eating gruel or gruel with 'brown'. Did you live in a Dickensien 19th century orphanage?

The Microtel in Springfield IL reeked of curry last summer. They rented a suite to an Indian couple that simply adored making everyone ill with it.

Yeah, sometimes when it is WAY too hot, it spoils your enjoyment of the meal - spending too much time sweating and not enough time digesting - or something. Sweating, not digesting, Drinking not eating - and ever twirling, TWIRLING!

Daryus: "Just because it is not burning out your insides does not mean that its watered down."
It's okay, Daryus, you don't need to defend and take responsibility for every curry dish ever served for the last 20 years on planet Earth.
Besides, I was there and you weren't, this curry was bad, bad I tell you. It was okay as food to fill stomache and provide nutrition, yet it was just meat, potatoes and peas boiled in a brown sauce and with two weak squeezes from the curry-weasel on each food bin, so it would qualify as curry to the lunch-ladies.
About the strength of curry, my whole point with mentioning my encounter with Vindaloo was that I had mostly eaten medium and light strength curry before, so I know about curry's various intensities and mixes.
