Hot Stuff

How Hot Is Too Hot?

 

 

It all started with some guacamole.

I went out for a late dinner last night and

had a taste for guacamole.  After the food

arrived I tasted the guac and it was hot -

spicy hot.  Mr. Wonderful tasted it and

agreed, the hottest guac he's ever had. 

When the waiter stopped by to check on us,

I asked him if they made the guac there, yes,

all made fresh in the restaurant.  I told him

it was very hot and he said they had started

making it differently, so I asked him to taste

it.  He agreed. It was hot!  I LOVE hot food

but this had no other taste ~no cilantro, no

lime, just hot.  I asked if he could bring me

some lime and cilantro and I would fix it to

my taste.  A while later, he came with a freshly

made bowl of guac, the cook had made a

bowl up just for me ~ lovely.

 

So, that made me ask ~ how hot is too hot?

 

 

I love hot food, I ate my way through Thailand

and loved it all.

 

 

I eat Indian food whenever I can...

 

 

The hottest thing I ever ate was in Mexico.

I was at a Breakfast Buffet at a resort and I

sampled a little of this and a little of that...

I tried a few of the salsas that were near the

omelette station and when I ate the salsa

verde ~ I was ready to spontaneously combust!

My eyes were watering, it was a bit hard to

breathe and I couldn't talk.  Wonderful looked

at me and said are you ok?  I pointed to a

container of a watery milk and did a hand

motion of drinking.  A little while later an

older kindly waiter came by and asked if I

was ok.  I told him I had the hottest thing I

had ever tasted.  He said, " Oh ~ the salsa

verde..."  He told me to be sure to have dairy

to nuetralize the heat, I pointed to the milk.

"That should do it."  Of course, I didn't stop

eating it, I just made sure I had plenty of the

milky stuff to drink.

 

What was the hottest thing you ever ate?
