Yes. I’ve never had anything in Europe labeled as “spicy” that wouldn’t be outclassed by a mild hot sauce in the US. Closest I’ve come is an Indian restaurant in London. Also the hot sauce at Nando’s was an honorable mention.
Meanwhile the minimum spice level at the hole in the wall Mexican restaurant down the street in Texas is at the same level and hot enough in the high end that I can’t handle it. It’s perfect.

Even in the US it varies, little towns in PA consider black pepper spicy…
