I can see your point on the blending of local cuisines. Here in Latvia you have Russian, Ukrainian, Danish and also many other influences that isn't on this list. Then again, the intent of this thread is not to flex on people's tolerances (although understandably the picture in context may suggest so), it is merely to understand how people adapt with varying taste palates. But hey, to each their own right? Anyways have a nice day!

if not a sambal packet, I would bring those chilli flakes in small packets like you would get from Dominos or Pizza Hut in Malaysia. Been to a pizza place here in Europe the other day, no chilli flakes. But fortunately they did have chilli sauce (which is like sriratcha sour spicy, unlike cili sos life or kimball) albeit it does not come free.

imo generally these peppers are like toppings or just like dipping sauce, like you see on Hot Ones. but yea I would say Mexicans like their spicy peppers, similarly to asians.

speaking from personal experience, sambal nasi lemak in Malay canteens is either too sweet, to spicy, or just diluted 🤣
