Food that is billed as spicy that are not spicy at all. Goddamn spice wimps.

I could ramble on for a long time about this. But I’ll spare you. The worst is when they say it’s spicy and you order it anyway and they try to warn you. “Are you sure?” Yeah, trust me. It sucks when they make it hot just for the sake of making it hot and it doesn’t taste good. What sucks even worse are the losses of favorite restaurants that got it right but went out of business or got sold because the owners died or retired over the years.

I’ve still got a favorite Thai place that does it right. Order it extra spicy and they make it extra spicy. (Bamboo Thai Kitchen on Bethel Rd. near Olentangy River Rd. behind the McDonald’s across the street from Micro Center in case that’s information anyone can use.)

I don’t have a whole lot of pozole experience but I know a place called Charrito’s on the southeast corner of Reed and Henderson that I think does a pretty good job. (You may think I didn’t spare you, but trust me, I could’ve written a lot more about favorite places that are no longer around.)

Simple solution......don't wash your hands when you are done.

If you did not piss all over them you would not have to.

When I go into a normal clean bathroom, I wash my hands when done with my business.  If it is one of those disaster area/ nuclear fallout type places, I ain't touchin anything.  Just walk the fuck out...It seems virtually impossible that anything they have to offer in the handwashing process could improve the hygeine situation.

I will never understand people that want something so fucking hot that as soon as you take the first bite your mouth and tongue are on fire and numb and you can barely taste anything after that.

I like a little spicy but fuck that blazing bullshit.

There is no door at HEB, which is about the only place I go in public, and I actually shower and wear clean "shorts" everyday.

 

So let me get this straight - the only location you urinate in public is the same location where you immediately begin to touch produce and other food items for sale after handling your flaccid genitals without washing your hands afterwards?

What the fuck?

I hit the bathroom right before checkout usually so it makes no difference.

Besides the basket you are pushing probably has more germs than my junk anyway so what is the difference.

If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen. The hottest sauce I’ve ever had was the “thermonuclear” sauce on Johnson’s ribs out of Norfolk, VA. It was scorching hot but it tasted AWESOME. They’ve since changed it and it’s not as hot anymore and I stopped buying them. But they’ve been a fixture at the local Jazz & Rib Fest for years (and the rib circuit in general) and while their sauce was really hot I had them 2-3 times every year. Sometimes I bought extras to take home. It was a borderline religious experience. Ironically, when they weakened their sauce I started trying more ribs from other vendors.

I’ve never experienced my mouth going numb from anything hot and spicy. I’ve seen people on this board describe that happening when they eat jalapeños. Maybe you have more delicate constitutions. But when it came to Johnson’s thermonuclear sauce, as long as you kept eating the ribs, it didn’t get that bad. Oh, sure, it made your neck sweat and your nose run and you had to get extra napkins. But it tasted GREAT. It’s when you were finished that the heat really set in. But the thing is, it’s a phantom pain. It’s a chemical response. You’re not actually causing any cellular damage. So you just endure it. Study it. Maybe even enjoy it.

And then the endorphins kick in and you get a natural high that lasts for maybe 20-30 minutes. Probably closer to 20. But it’s awesome. And you’re sitting under a tree on a nice summer day and listening to live jazz and everything seems pretty good. And those ribs tasted fantastic. That’s the most important thing. I’ve never had any other food that was a more perfect marriage between super-tasty and super-hot. And it kills me that they changed that sauce.

There are plenty of very tasty sauces that are not "blazing" hot.

Like I said I like some spice but not habernero type hot.

My mom could eat raw jalepenos all day long while my dad could not stand anything that hot. Guess I got his genes.

Sure, there are tasty “hot” sauces that aren’t that hot. I like to put some green Tabasco in my New England clam chowder. I have Louisiana and Crystal and Tapatio on hand as well as others that are even hotter. I can eat raw habaneros and I don’t think they’re that hot. That’s basically my lower limit of what I consider to be hot, to give me a little sting. I love them. They taste great. I’ll slice them raw and put them on a burger.

I don’t know how Johnson’s made their thermonuclear sauce. Maybe chocolate habaneros? Ever had those? I’ve grown them. How about a white raisin habanero? Those are really hot. I’ve grown them too but they’re so small and harvesting them is a bitch.

Whew, thanks. Good to know you "usually" haven't handled foodstuffs for sale with your unwashed hands directly after manipulating your penis for means of urination.

There's definitely nothing wrong with you. Carry on.

Never got the let me eat something that burns skin from my mouth, and tastes like hot lava. I love spicy food, but a little heat goes a long way for me.

This happened the other day.  FYI, I've never taken a side on masks/vaccines.  I wore a mask when I was told; got a vaccine when I became eligible.  Never gave a shit either way on the debate.

That being said, the other day at school, our counselor went on a rant about how she wasn't getting a vaccine because her ex-husband sent her a video of him getting a vaccine.  In the video, he claimed that the vaccine was full of lead and he put a magnet to his arm to prove it.  I, again, pretty much stay out of any arguments outside of sports, but I had to call b.s.  Convo went something like this...

Me: Yeah.  I don't think that's right.

Her: It is.  I saw the video.

Me: Lead is poisonous to humans.  I don't believe they'd put lead in a shot.   

Her: Then how do you explain the magnet?

Me: Well, considering a magnet is not attracted to lead, you got me.  (She didn't get the joke and actually thought I was agreeing with her.)

That said, Buck you need to try "Dave's Insanity Sauce".   It ruins food it is so hot.  You will love it.

People that don't leash their dogs outside of a designated dog-park setting.

People that don't leash their dogs outside of a designated dog-park setting.

We had words with a family last weekend at the lake about this. I don’t particularly care much but the in laws do as they aren’t dog fans. MIL thinks all dogs bite and eat small children.

Neighbor’s dog across the way kept coming over to our kitchen area over the last few weekends and my FIL had enough.

There is a leash law in each lease you sign and my FIL reminded them of it.

We’ll see if they pooped in our kitchen next weekend.

I like spicy, but the line for me is when it burns my ass on the way out.

I’ve had it. I’ve also had Dave’s Ghost Pepper Sauce. My dad gave me a bottle. He knew I like hot sauce, went to a hot sauce store, asked for their hottest sauce, and that’s what they sold him. He didn’t put anymore thought into it than that.

It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t awesome or anything. I consumed the whole bottle, though. It was definitely better than the Marie Sharp’s extra hot sauce that I threw away. I’m no champion of Pace Picante Sauce. I think it’s kind of ketchupy (is that a word?) But they made a mango habanero salsa that wasn’t hot at all but if you added some of that ghost pepper sauce to it, it was pretty good.

Oh, also, Dave’s Insanity Sauce isn’t as hot as you think it is.
