Hi Dave,

 DD> I fail to understand the names/marketing claimss of some of the hot
 DD> stuff being sold these days. Death peppers, Scorpion whatever, etc.
 DD> Are all of their intended customers masochists?

 RH> I think once they started with names along that line, they had to
 RH> continue each time they came out with something hotter. Tho I don't
 RH> know what could be hotter than death, except maybe H***fire. (G)

 DD> Errrrmmmmm, I always thought of death as "cold" As in "Papa's in the
 DD> cold, cold grounf"

Since we're not supposed to discuss religion in this echo, I'll just say
that there are 2 places where you can spend your afterlife. One is just
right temperature-wise, the other is rather much on the warm side.


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

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

 DD> Bland is almost as bad a too fiery. Except you and fix bland and you
 DD> can't remove heat very successfully.  Bv)=


 DD> We had a competition cook once who "loaded" his judges cup really
 DD> heavy with hot stuff. And then snickered at the reactions. So they

 DD> chilli. Put the kibosh on that, it did.

Our church outside of Fort Devens, MA had a chili cook off while we were
members (there all of 6 months after we returned from Germany and moved
to AZ). One of the entrys tasted like somebody had dropped burnt
cigarette ash into the pot, and plenty of it. Steve had the same thought
we he tasted it; needless to say, it was not a winner. That was before
we knew about Fido and the Cooking echo; my chili was my now family
style version without a lot of heat. I don't remember how it placed.
