Saw this interesting claim while researching on India.
"India's curries can be even hotter than the fieriest of Chinese hotpots; likewise the temperature of the two economies."
I'd really like to compare who goes to the max! Can India's spiciness be hot and numbing like the Chinese Sichuan hotpots? Gosh ... if you accidentally bite into a 花椒 (pepper - those seeds floating in the seething broth - lethal!), it's really no joke!
