You guys are a pissa, Nandos Lemon and herb is hot enough for me! :D

But rush on the other hand, she's the same as you guys, extra hot everything but then complains she can't taste it :)

word!

ppl need to have two levels of 'extra hot' - extra hot (for the weak sauce) and extra hot (for the hardcore)... because when i order extra hot i want my eyes to water like ferni's does if he get's too close to my order :laugh:

meanwhile, can someone please explain to ferni that chilli actually has a 'taste', once you can get past the heat aspect of it...

here in perth we used to have a mexican resurant chain called The Good the bad and the ugly. It stood for good food , bad service and ugly waitresses (that was thier pitch). It was the first experience I had of the habanero as I attempted to eat THE DYNAMITE, a nacho dish made from pulped habaneros as the basis of the salsa. If you could eat it all in 30min your meal and all your drinks were free. At the time I was 18 ,many years ago. being a thai food nut at the time I foolishly scoffed at the challenge, thinking mexican jalepenos were weak so this habanero thing was probably nothing special. The first bite told me how wrong I was but, I pushed on through the pain. I almost finished it but, ended up a mess defeated and feeling so unwell I had to get a lift home with....my mum! It almost killed me, well maybe the wild the sphincter of the universe helped too.

That was the begining of my obsession with true hot chilli, I could not let the habanero win. It had dealt me such humiliation it just had to become my new best friend.

anyone who likes hot stuff, try and get a hold of some 'turbo supercharge' from the chilli factory (i think thats what its called). kinda hard to come by but damn, easily the hottest thing i've ever eatin.

It's a very very mild habanero chilli paste. Tastes ok though. For people not used to habanero it's a safe introduction. It's not very hot. They didn't go for super power though, most people wouldn't like it if they did.

I preffer not mixing in anything other than pure chilli in my sauces, any other ingredients you might like to add always taste much better if they are mixed in 'fresh' at the time of serving.

shit yes.

this is all true.

mmmmmmmmmm chilli

i personally dislike non chilli foood.. it's WAY too bland and tasteless. if i could, i'd go to ogalos/oportos/nandos over standard maccas/hungryjacks/or any other shit restaurant.

oh yeah, and i'm not satisfied til i sweat. ;)

same here

lol

That's a great piece of advice. I'm always looking for ways to add chilli after I finish cooking so Nelly doesn't have to eat it. Unfortunately though I lose my tolerance after a while and have to rebuild again. The sacrafices of marriage :D

I really get Shi**y with maccas ads about how hot their sauce is. What a pack of tamperers! So hot even Ferni could eat it ;)

When I married my wife 10+ years ago, she hated hot food. I snuck very small amounts of chilli into everything I cooked gradually increasing it till she was addicted to endorphins. She now enjoys it far more than I do. :D

Nothing wrong with losing tollerance as getting it back is alot of fun too.

I love hot meals! Especially a nice hot curry. But unfortunately lately (as mentioned earlier) my taste buds and mouth can handle it, but my stomach HATES it. I get the worst gut aches. I'm pissed off because I like a good challenge. :glare:

I do hate when the curry reaches the 'other' end though :O

Exactly what happened to me

You cant keep doing it forever :ninja:

I was a chilli king. Ate 'em all & lots of. Friends used to get off in restaurants seeing what I could eat.

Now it really messes with my guts the next day.

Hey Pete, I got a chilli plant @ home that will make u run crying like a girl.

In fact, I challenge anyone to eat one of these babies.

I will shout a jug to anyone who can chew one, swallow it & not spew. :P

Ralph: "Wait, mister, you're drinking a candle. You don't want to get wax in your mouth, do you?"

Homer: [slyly] "Maybe I do, son. Maybe I do."

Chief Wiggum: "Afternoon, Homer. Care for some chili? I've added an extra ingredient just for you. The merciless peppers of Quetzylsaccatanango! Grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum."

haha will also you shout for any hospital bills which may or may not ensue?

ferni and i went to this mongolian bbq place a while back and they had a chilli challenge to see who can eat the hottest chilli peppers etc... didnt enter because, well, with ferni, there is really no contest :)

Forgot to mention, Maggi is a thai cooking sauce by Maggi but I haven't found it here. try a mix of terriyaki and soy.

Thai sweet basil is not like italian sweet basil so look around for the right stuff.

theres some maggi sauce at work with a thai recipe.. forgot wat it was now but ill take a pic tomorra n if its not the right one ill mclook it up on the computer at work

The Chilli debate - ahh yes. In my youth I was known to eat an orange habanero raw and with seeds on a dare - I fronted up to 'Monsieur Derango's Chilli Tequila Challenge' (although I didn't win) and I dabbled in some of the hotter sauces available ('Megadeath' sauce springs to mind....)

I even partook in son of rajab T's 'Chilli Con Carnage' prepared with the capsiceine powder that's triple sealed and not to be consumed in it's pure form. I have huddled in the corner in the foetal position with a 2 litre bottle of milk to make the pain go away and dreaded the 'Ring of Fire' the following day.

But these days are gone.

Nowadays I still like my hot food - nose sweat is a must - but I can also appreciate the different tastes and textures of the varieties of chillies. The smokiness of the Habanero, the piquant little Thai peppers. All have their joys and none are more supreme then the other. :P

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
