The eyes is painful but its acceptable to go aaaaarghhh me eyes lar. Ive been cooking for people that I dont really know and chopped a chilli then went for a piss. Minutes later in a kitchen full of people that I hardly knew the burning sensation started.

It was a very arkward moment in my life.

Yogurt's best mate, chilli spoors are barbed so need something with a high viscousity to get them of your bellend.
and what ever is left over you can cover your bird with and lick it off....slowly

Quote

The late David Niven relates in his autobiography, The moon's a balloon, an account of a rather nasty case of frostnip (a mild, though still painful, case of frostbite in which the tissues become numbed but remain pliable). While skiing, he caught frostnip in a very sensitive and precious part of his anatomy. His treatment, not to be found in medical textbooks, was to immerse the damaged appendage in a glass of brandy. This peculiar therapy revived the organ successfully, but David Niven promised himself that he would never go again into cold climes inadequately clad.

As long as it is not Yak Yogurt! I would not even let the dog lick that off anything (if I had a dog that is).

Absolutely love them, can't beat a bit of spice in your food.

I grow them, anyone else?

Yes, love them. Spices everything up nicely. My Mrs has just started to grow then last week (I never knew you could to be honest).

I make chilli , garlic oil.

Pour some oil into a bottle then lash in some garlic and chilli. Very nice.

Be honest lads. Who's ever cut fresh chillis then went for a piss?

OUCH!

Just reminded of Nick Nairn years ago on tv, heated some chilli oil instead of olive oil....had to run out of kitchen cos the smell was so bad!

Tried looking for it on youtube without any success

Mmmm, Chillies. Grow them in our garden in the Philippines, but I've never tried in the UK.

Good for making Bicol Express:

400 grams of long chillies (espada), cut in half and de-seeded (taking out the seeds reduces most of the the heat, preserving the chilli flavour)
500 grams of pork cut into small strips.
1 clove of garlic (small sliced)
1 large onion (sliced)
1 1/2 Litres of coconut milk (counters the heat of the Chilli)
3 teaspoons of Bagoong (fermented shrimp paste)

fry then add the coconut milk and chillies and simmer until chillies are soft.

Eat with rice.

Was in B&Q today and picked up 2 packs of chilli seeds, a propigating tray and a misting bottle, reckon if I sow them tomorrow should have a decent crop by the end of summer.

When I transfer them to pots will they survive on a windowsill? I haven't got a garden so planting them in soil is a no go for me.

Stussy · « **Reply #60 on:** April 12, 2009, 12:51:48 am »

I have a rack of chilli sauces like some people have a rack of the finest wine. Love it.

I used to have an addiction to Tabasco sauce I would even put it on toast in the mornings.

Pot on a window sill fine. Watch out for especially hot days and make sure it is 'well' watered. When you say no garden, are you in an apartment? Ever considered a plot at an allotment? Great fun.

Just recently bought a packet of chillies from asda.

I dont use them up quickly so froze them; but curries since haven't been that hot.

Anyone lnow if freezing them "nullifies" the heat?

Some scary looking sauces on that website, some of the ones over 1,000,000 just look unplesant.

Might order a bottle of 'Ass Reaper' for my mate's birthday as he's always complaining things aren't hot enough.

Got a nice bag of those green finger chillies you get in your Jalfazi from tescos. Nasty little buggers if you get one stuck under your tongue but gives my curries and fajitas a real kick
