One question can one really nibble on a hot pepper. The thought kills my stomache.

Indeedy doody.


I've seen a woman of Afro-Caribbean descent take a bite out of a Scotch Bonnet pepper- and most of the people I know who cook with them don't even chop them up when they use them, they just leave 'em whole, then take them out of the food before it's served.


If you go to any of the good take aways around here where the food is from the Indian sub-continent you'll often se, say, a big tray of cooked chick peas with whole green peppers studded through it.


If you want some of the flavour, but not the incandescent Pepper Syndrome meltdown, then try the Middle Eastern pickled peppers. You'll get some of the savour, but not nearly the same degree of heat. They're also very good stuffed with sheep's milk or goats' milk cheese, or Quark or cottage cheese.

then try the Middle Eastern pickled peppers.

So so. They can taste quite nasty.

Omigod, you Islamophobe!!!!!


Nasty is az nasty doez, Az- I know people who don't like anchovies, celery, aniseed, pernod, olives and Turkish coffee.


Now I can just about understand the aniseed/pernod thang, but I'll eat whole anchovies, or anchovy stuffed olives, and I love drinking Turkish coffee, with or without sugar.


I do dearly loves the stuffed grilled peppers, though- but a tip for anyone who finds they repeat on them, is to blacken the skin under a grill or on a naked flame, then let them cool, place them in a plastic bag and pop them in the fridge.

This facilitates the removal of the pepper skin and drastically reduces the high wind in jamaica phenomenon.

I am not really against pickled peppers: It's that people seem to pickle them in different ways, and the results vary quite strongly, to say the least.

You'll find me to be absolutely weird after I say this.


I find it fun to derive physics equations.

Bah, Physics equations are boring. Hypothesizing about the origin of life, now that is fun.
