Mike, I live in Georgia in the USA and I have the same problem here. The "hot" foods are never hot enough for me. My friends say I am the only person they know that takes my own salsa to the Mexican restaurants and my own chilies everywhere else. Sometimes they think I am crazy but I am slowly making converts out of them. Yvonne (in sunny Georgia) wdb.cyb@gateway.net It is hard to live in a country there people normally don't eat hot food. Do you ever have the same problem in your respective countries? HotChili-Mike
