Hi Dave,


 DD>   NOTE: Not even wasabi can rescue mushy peas. Leave the
 DD>   peas off and I'll gladly eat this. -- UDD

 RH> Ever see the movie "Cars 2"? the tractor character (voiced by Larry the
 RH> Cable Guy) thinks that wasabi is pistacio ice cream, takes a big bite
 RH> and after recivering, announces that the "pistacio ice cream is
 RH> spoiled". I'll take wasabi in (very) small amounts with sushi but think
 RH> of that clip when I have it.

 DD> I saw the original "Cars" but took a pass on the sequel. And as most
 DD> here know I do like spicy stuff. Just not silly about it.

Our heat level has gone down since we moved East. Cooking/eating local,
just don't have the heat in foods that the West has. One exception and
even that's not as hot as out west is eastern NC pulled pork bbq. The
sauce is basically vinegar and red & black pepper flakes. Properly
cooked, the whole hog is mopped with it several times while cooking,
then when it is done and the meat is chopped, more is mixed in. More is
available, usually on the table, so you can add more if desired. I like
it a lot better than the western NC red sauce or the Lexington hybrid.

 DD> ... Beyond tasty spicy and heading towards stupid spicy.

Good way to describe some foods I've had, especially chilis. I make mine
tasty spicy.
