Mild Curries
Let’s start this off by saying we don’t think this server had bad intentions. It seems like they were doing their customers a favor but phrased it badly on the receipt. Sometimes servers leave notes to advise chefs about dietary restrictions. In this case, the Indian staff warned the cook not to make a curry too spicy.
We can imagine the customers thought that this note was funny. It was extremely blunt but it wasn’t intentionally offensive. To be honest, they’re probably correct too because usually Americans can’t the same level of spice. It won’t come as a surprise to learn that mild Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken are the most popular Indian curries in the U.S. (via Chef’s Pencil).
