I guess growing Scotch Bonnets and eating them as a fruit off the 
bush has skewed my perceptions a bit. I had figured Tabasco was 
medium, but not ridiculously, hot, and diluting it with mayonnaise to 
a pinkish, thickish/pourable consistency would presumably cut the 
heat somewhat.

OTOH, don't Reubens call for Swiss cheese, too? How can you eat them 
on Passover?

Adamantius, nowhere near the fire-eater of his youth, but still quite 
respectable...
