RobSheffield Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Your opnions please Im none too good with much more than a Korma! Some say thats acting week, but im not so sure I went out to a Mexican last night for our works christmas party, most folks chose Steak, but i went for Fajitas since i wanted to try to be at least a little cultural, and it burned me badly! I dont mind the tingly sensation, its the way my throat/windpipe closes up and leaves me bright red and looking like im about to die! 3 people on my table asked if i needed an ambulance!

jamesmark Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hotter the better for me. I like it that hot that eventually it stings both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 You may be having a allergic reaction Rob. Peppers maybe... I can go as far as Jalfrezi, any hotter and it just doesn't seem to taste of much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I like spicy food, but not so 'hot' that I can't taste the spice flavours. Yeah, I agree with that. I used to like Vindaloo's etc but I really don't see the point anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 LOL, poor Rob I can eat pretty much anything now, used to order things as hot as I could get it and have a cupboard full of insanity sauces.. but now I dont usually go pass madras strength as I want to enjoy the food a little more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put that in for you Thing is, i always thought the spices were used in certain countries and cultures to disguise the flavour of meat that was past its best - am i wrong? Did someone lie to me?

Pabs Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I can handle a decent Tikka Masala, Jalfrezi (sp?) or Rogan Josh, but nothing hotter as I just don't enjoy it as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I like spicy food, but not so 'hot' that I can't taste the spice flavours. Agreed Hot is fine but I don't want to eat a plate of "hot", I want to eat a tasty meal that's enhanced by a bit of a kick, like the chilli I just made and consumed with much pleasure. The whole "I eat the hottest food because it's the best" mentality is very similar to the "look at me I can drink a lot of Stella" thing IMO, yes you'll impress the target audience but at the end of the day you aren't that special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did someone lie to me? Yep thats true A madras hot curry is enough for me, and also Thai and spicy Chinese, but nothing so hot that its tasteless. A friend of mine does genuinely enjoy a vindaloo without his hair setting on fire, but it is a matter of each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did someone lie to me? In medieval times spices were used to 'spice up' very bland gruel etc. I was always lead to believe that curries were created to disguise the fact that the meat was rotten. I assume we're talking a couple of centuries ago though! I can tolerate up to a tikka massala, but I don't really enjoy it. I'm far happier with something I can actually taste, like a Korma!

Certainly more so than when 'spices' not specifically the curry spice were very expensive and more of a luxury item. Not really something you'd imagine on gone off meat.

Muffleman Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Mmmm, spicy hot food, aaaaaarrrrghhhhh. I've sat with someone that asked for a phal (spelling ?) and watched him go bright red but throw it down his neck as fast as possible. Idiot. If you think it's hot going in ....... I'll eat, and enjoy, a vindaloo but rarely venture past a Jalfrezi nowadays. Love chilli food though, mexican food is usually good. Just got back from a chinese restaurant. Had to apologise to the wife in advance but opted for the steamed garlic rice, it will be coming out of my pores for a couple of days Yummy though.

Not really something you'd imagine on gone off meat. You have to remember that chili, and most of the other spices are grown in the same countries that produces the hot foods, so they should be readily available. We have the luxury of fridges, freezers nowadays, but poorer countries would've had to have preserved, or disguised the fact that their meats would've been past their best very quickly, being very warm countries too.

I like it hot, but have to be able to taste everything in the dish, and if it takes a bowl of yogurt and two milks to cool me down, then it's too hot. I prefer a Wasabi kind of hot.

Just not right before the act in case of possible Sh!t-Fart separater breakdown when your partner is in likely close proximity to an explosive spackle release.
