a smudge of humor

[Guest guest]

DH made hot sauce. The exact recipe does not exist. Roasted loads of peppers -

mostly jalapenos, a handful or so of habaneros, and a big bunch of ?? oversized

serranos or something. Then they were cooked in brine - vinegar & salt, I

think. Then whizzed in the food processor. Then the mess sat on my counter for

3 weeks or so. It reduced quite a bit & cleared your sinuses INSTANTLY. It

burned a hole in my tongue when I tasted it. Even dh doesn't like it that much

- too much heat to let the flavor come through. (this guy puts Tabasco on

nearly everything, the most offending being my homemade mac & cheese).

He bottled it up & took in several jars to work to give out as gifts. His

recent hire, a lady from India, wanted to taste. She scooped up a 1/2 spoonful.

DH warned her but she shrugged him off. She ate it, smiled & said it reminded

her of some kind of pickled something from home. She didn't even flinch. WOW.

 

I just felt like sharing that.

Now there's a crying shame :=(

Heh heh heh! I guess the joke was on you,eh? We're positive wimps when it

comes to hot spices, which is why cookbooks for 'western' consumption have

to be specially written. I remember in my pescatarian days eating chili cr*bs in

a non-tourist restaurant in a smaller city in Malaysia . . . . I finished the

meal,

because everything was so superbly cooked, but not without wiping my eyes

a few times ;=) No one else seemed troubled.

 

Best,
