A mate and I used to ask for a "nuclear hot" vindaloo at our Friday Indian lunches. Those were the days. When I went to four days a week I started going running on the Friday afternoon and spicy food tended to cause trouble with that, so I ended up going mild. I've lost my tolerance to it so "medium" is about my limit at the moment. It's just as well I've given that up as I know a couple of people who cannot eat even mildly spicy food anymore after going a bit too far with it in their youth. I still grow chillies though, despite our climate being a bit borderline for it. I've just harvested the last of my small crop of jalapeños. I make a chilli relish from a recipe we adapted from a tomato relish one. Given a few months to age it tastes divine and isn't too hot. Perfect accompaniment to corned beef.
