The " Honey I'm home and I'm bloody starving , what's for dinner " Thread.

Doesn't wreck it. I like sour things, anyways.

You've made yourself immune to the blatant conflict in tastes more like. Don't make me put you on #TeamTerrorist...

Simple things...

My wife's on the hunt for some scotch bonnets. She's making some jerk chicken next week. Happy days!

Don't you, forget about me

I'll look out for them, cheers pal.

They're ace but 1/2 a teaspoon will knock your tits off if it's just for you. I'm in the same boat as you as the missus doesn't like overly hot food. She cooked enchiladas last night and put a teaspoon of the stuff in the whole mix as she didn't think it would be too bad. Only trouble is the mix i'd crushed up already had chili powder in. I thought she was having a stroke at one point!

Tagliata tonight. Beautiful.

Doing a chilli for late supper before the all nighter in front of the election.

Ah, you're joking man. I sometimes get half a teaspoon and smear it across the top of a sausage roll, let alone in a serving of chilli.

 

[Johnny75]

I guess I'm weaker than some of you heat monsters on here.

And you think im weird for having a crisp sandwich! You little tinker you!!

 

[Sniffer]

For me too much heat kills the flavour. I've never understood why anybody would order a vindaloo other than to win a bet with friends so I guess that I'm in the weaker than monsters camp with Johnny.

I think I said that having a brown sauce and crisp sandwich was weird, which still holds

I love spicy food, the hotter the better. Years of gradually building it up I guess, like anything tolerance increases. And I have had many years to build it up. Those lazy chillies are magic in tomato soup as well

Totally agree, when the spice heat overtakes the taste of the meat, then you're just into show off territory !

If it's done properly then the spices aren't overpowering.

Badly cooked anything is shit, you wouldn't want fish and chips where the batter was four inches thick.

 

[machin05]

The batter is the best bit

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If you had batter that thick it would be rock hard, crunchy and inedible, by definition. I mean you're welcome to try cooking fish in such a way but I doubt the end results will be much fun.

The point being that if you eat a curry and all you can taste is 'hot' then it hasn't been cooked very well.

Actually Id take the batter off the fish , splatter it with vinegar so that it goes soggy, and put it on bread & butter

I reckon it'd take some impressive frying skils to get 4 inches of batter rock hard, in fact I'd be impressed that they even managed to get a 4 inch thick layer of liquid batter to adhere to the piece of fish in the first place.
