Has anyone tried....

putting chilli powder into their coffee (black only presumably)? i tried it today and mmmm it's quite nice.

any other unlikely foods that combine to produce surprisingly nice results?
cheers

Adding a little chocolate to chilli is actually surprsingingly effective.

 

Not tried Chilli Julian, but Gin works - Ray Charles sweared by it

 

What the hell prompted that little experiment Julian?

Michael.

 

I've tried cheese with choclate chips in it.

I'd been told they were rabbit droppings and after much drink and persuasion I was willing to try it (thinking it was the rabbit crap).

Can't really remember what it tasted like.

 

i read somewhere that chilli might increase metabolic rate so i got to a-wondering :shame: . i had heard it went well with chocolate so i may try some in some hot chocolate too.
it didn;t actually taste too bad in coffee but i think i put a smidge too much in - needs refinement but shows promise.
cheers

cheese and peanutbutter go well together.

 

Marmite and Strawberry jam on toast... Try it. You'll be suprised.

 

Have you tried green tea , Julian ?
Supoosed to increase metabolic rate by up to 4% , and cleans impurities out of the system .
I,m currently drinking Tetley green tea with lemon and it,s quite a refreshing drink .

 

yup,
tried green tea (with lemon and mint) and some blend with ginko in it too. hmmm green tea with chilli - now there's an idea
cheers

So how much chilli should I buy for the bake-off?

 

i just use tescos hot chilli powder - about 1/4 tsb (maybe a smidge less) in a mug of coffee.

A few months ago I bought a bottle of "Insanity Sauce" from Tesco. The label on the bottle said that it was the hottest sauce in the Universe and I can confirm it was the hottest thing I've ever eaten. One teaspoonful into a 12" dia saucepan half filled with pasta sauce was too much. I couldn't eat it. Obviously I've since used it in moderation.

Unfortunately, they've stopped selling them now because of complaints

 

excellent. when i lived in texas there was this kind of macho thing about eating chillies. one bunch of mates used to buy a pizza and then see who could eat a slice with the most habaneros on it - evil f*cking things they are.
also i once met a guy when i was camping who ate raw jalopeno's dipped in salt - but then he did crush up and snort his brain medication too so what does that tell you.
i wouldn't claim to be invulnerable to hot sauces but i have built up a modest tolerance.
funnily enough most if not all the texans i met were susceptible to english mustard and wasabi (i find them quite similar in heat and taste) and a bunch of friends were shocked as i ate gobs of wasabi with my sushi in the local sushi restaraunt. whereas i was horrified by their habanero eating prowess.

Interesting theory. I asked my friend from India but she never heard of anyone putting chillies in their coffee yet. You might have actually discover a novel combination. There is a takeaway in Glasgow which make a very good pizza top with a yummy spicy meat curry. I was not convince until ate it a few months ago. It is one of my favourite slightly unusual snack now especially with extra toppings of cheese.

 

i seem to have a gift for this kind of thing. when i lived in yorkshire i 'invented' the pineapple, peperoni and donner kebab meat pizza with garlic sauce. mmmmmm (homer style drool gargle) garlic sauce.....
i'm now going to give the hot choc and chilli a go... have tried hot choc with cardamom pods before and that was very nice....
cheers
