Why Spicy Food Makes You Feel High

If you’ve ever noticed a funny feeling when you eat spicy food, you’re not just imagining things. Capsaicin, the compound that makes hot peppers hot,

No wonder I love spicy food ! Can you get arrested for 'buzzed-driving' after a Thai meal ?

My body is still willin' - kind of like Linda Rondstadt in her song Willin' (just not for weed, whites and wine in combo)

But I really enjoy Sambal Oelek, a chili paste originally from Asia - available most places and although I don't know its Scoville rating, it has plenty of kick.

Plenty of recipes online for making your own Sambal Oelek and you can use your variety of chili peppers to make it as hot as you want

Very mild stuff. It's good but not really that hot.

The only way is to grow my own.

So, you are looking for the hottest of the hot?

Yes. I like the intense heat. I grow them in Canada and make my own sauce. I will smuggle the seeds next time.

I'm anxiously awaiting for you to make a positive comment about anything. LOL

My neighbor has a great recipe and always gives me a big bottle. Have to drink it quickly in case it goes bad after a while.

Is there ANYTHING you like about DR?

I happen to like habichuelas con dulce, of course some make it better than others. It’s also different tasting warm or cold. One of Mr AE’s aunts was the undisputed champion, we made sure to stop there at least once each cuaresma to enjoy it.

 

[Father Guido]

Great thread.

I'd like to know what is everyone's favorite dish?

Mine would probably have to be rice and beans and pollack or roasted eggplant, fried green plantains and a green salad. Not only delicious but healthy too.

I love me some habichuelas con dulce.

Clara's research on all things comida dominincana should be required reading for all prospective retirees wanting to move to the D.R.

I really like beans, black, white red, every kind but I agree, habichuelas con dulce is a culinary misfit.
