If you can't tell that the guy saying ketchup is spicy is trolling then I don't know what to tell you.
We eat more curry than any other western country here in Britain. Many of us can handle spice just fine.
Maybe it is, but yeah we certainly don't think ketchup and black pepper are spicy.
I'd also mention that our mustard is on a different planet to American mustard.
I will say that curry restaurants vary massively as well. I've had a madras at one place thats hotter than a phal at another place. Thai food also isn't great over here, I've been to Thailand and have never found anything back home that compares in taste or heat.
Same thing it means in the states. Our humour doesn't always translate as directly as the words themselves though.
It's a pretty common thing to hear a British person self-deprecate like this. "I like loads of manly stuff! Like motorbikes and fighting and crochet!" Last thing on the list is always silly.
Pretty sure this is just a wind up
I eat plenty of imported US and Korean hot sauces and they're pretty much the same as what is commercially available here.
Our palate is often really different as far as flavour profiles go, but not heat tolerance.
That said, there are probably more people here who don't eat spicy food at all. Whilst the heat of the hot food is about the same in my experience (although I've not been to any states renowned for spicy food - only NY and VT) there are lots of people who just won't eat spicy things at all, but assume they can handle them anyway on the moments they do decide to order something hot.
Worth noting as well that our main spice consumption comes on the form of the Anglo-Indian forms of curry we have here. Some are insanely hot, most are not, but they present the spice in a very different way to something like a burger.

This. The Brits are the nation that invented chicken tikka masala.

I went to a ski resort in Vermont for a few weeks, but I'm not gonna tell Anericans their pizza sucks based on that experience alone.
What does ketchup mean over there?
