The lamb sounds > good. I like scallops, but not with pablano anything. It's only open for dinner. The seared salmon sounds good, too. As for the scallops, that seemed like an odd pairing to me. It doesn't take much to overwhelm the delicate taste of scallops. The last time I ordered seared scallops (in a different Club dining room) the taste of the scallops was lost because they served them on a bed of highly spiced black rice. It totally ruined the dish.

The US is a pretty diverse society and some of the cultures that make up the population tend to eat hot spicy foods. The taste for spicy foods has spread to the majority with European roots. Most of the Americans I know like spicy foods. The Europeans I know do not. |

Hardly. Mexican food is commonly eaten here. Habaneras are not commonly eaten though. Jalapenos would be more common. |

I do not love ginger, Thai food, Indian food or a lot of other things that could be called spicy. |

It's going to be an orange and green plate of tenderloin food. The lobster has so much flavor competition I doubt you will be able to taste the lobster ( whatever it is--whole, tail, chunks, what?) Heirloom spinach is different; usually it is heirloom tomatoes. Janet US |

What do you add to create > heat? I have attempted to eat Indian food that was spicy. It wasn't hot but there was so much spice in it that the powdery spices coated my tongue. It was unpleasant and I couldn't taste the potatoes. My dad once brought home a whole apple pie from a potluck at work. He said the woman made a second one but hardly any got eaten. Why? From the taste of it she had a little nutmeg accident. That wasn't hot either. Just way too much spice. |

Oh, and here's a menu with no spelling errors. http://southwestdinerstl.com/menu/ --Bryan |

They're usually pretty mild, more flavorful than hot, but every now and then there are some that buck the trend. -- A kitchen without a cook is just a room |
