the motto was - as always - show no fear. don't break out in sweat. or even worse cry. when the nice owner of that establishment comes back and asks: "was it too spicy, Sir?" don't get fooled by his smile it is a TRAP! Just pull yourself together and say: "Nope - all fine - could have handled a wee bit more of heat" Smile and hope that he is gone soon enough for not hearing you weep. This was on the way to nuclear! Yet still with a balanced flavor profile- loved it!!
