Hello, My name is Pete, and I'm a Chilliholic.

I cannot stop eating things with chilli in them.

I have a genuine addiction to all hot foods. I add chilli to everything and jalepenos whereever I can.

Thai food must be the "Thai Hot" style.

Pasta must be ammatriciana with extra chilli.

Pizza must be mexican with extra chilli.

Steak has either chilli relish or chilli BBQ sauce.

Am I psychologically addicted or psychologically addicted?

Is it a bad addiction?

Does anyone else have this problem?

BASS OUT

I'm the same in regards to chilli addiction but must admit that my stomach can't handle what it used to while the rest of me (tastebuds, tongue etc) still can.

The mind is willing but the body now weak. :laugh:

Moderation my friend or you wont be able to enjoy chilli indefinitely.

It is an addiction, you get an endorphin hit from the chilli.

Try living in Thailand for a month at a time and you start to experiment with all the different chilli tastes, as well as always having a tallie of Thai brewed Heinekin at your elbow.

I make a fantastic Green curry and Thai spring roll (I did the classes of course) but unfortunately my wife is not keen on the extra spicy stuff so I generally keep things to her tastes. I'll mail through the recipes, or maybe just post them on here.

Exactly what happened to me

You cant keep doing it forever :laugh:

Chilli Health: Chillis are loaded with vitamin A, a potent antioxidant and boost to the immune system. As the pods mature and darken, high quantities of vitamin C are gradually replaced with beta carotene and the capsaicin levels are at their highest. Due to these capsaicin levels, some believe that eating chillis may have an extra thermic affect, temporarily speeding up the metabolic rate, hence burning off calories at a faster rate. Whatever, you certainly do sweat and actually cool down in hot climates as sweat evaporates. Your nose runs, your head clears ... you can breath! And with that extra flow of saliva, the gastric juices also flow. The alkaloids from the capsaicin stimulate the action of stomach and intestine improving the whole digestion process!

Beyond soothing gastric wonders and taste delights, the very nature of fiery capsaicin has been medicinally beneficial down through the ages and put to use for some chronic health woes. These same heat inducing properties have a cumulative effect and over time are believed to alleviate pain when used in transdermal treatments for arthritis, nerve disorders (neuralgia), shingles and severe burns ... even cluster headaches. The mucus thinning properties promote coughing and can act as an expectorant for asthmatic conditions. Other claims are boosts to the immune system due to the antioxidants, lowering cholesterol, and blood thinning properties beneficial for the heart and blood vessels.

When it comes to Chilli recipes Poite - I can help:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
