So you know how you get those glass herb jars that have the plastic lid with the holes in it so you can just shake the herbs over things? Weeeell we have a new jar and i assumed it was one of those and did one big shake into my pasta and about 30g of oregano went onto the pasta i was making.

flaaavoursome :eek:

99.9% of cooks do that at least once.
and the few who haven't, will.
 
yes, it happens....

A friend of a friend was a professional chef, who taught at the local college Culinary Arts program. The students did most of the cooking for the college cafeteria. He related that one day a student was making a large pot of soup, something like minestrone. The student went to add a shake of pepper, from a very large jar of the stuff, the plastic lid came away and about two cups of pepper entered the soup. Together, student and teacher tried to remove what pepper hadn't mixed in but the soup was now ultra peppery. It was renamed Mongolian Fire Pot and put on the serving line.
 
I have done things like that-- one time, I scooped it out with my hand-- a bit of a scald on my fingers, but I saved the stew!

Black pepper has a wonderful flavor, even apart from its heat...

I don't understand the passion some have for heat, separate from flavor. What's so attractive about someone with mucus dripping from their nose due to over-indulgence in anaheims?? I'll pass on heat, fire, etc for a spice with flavor. :devil: (mandatory use of devil thingy)
 
And now for something completely different........

How about Chief Wiggum's Uber-hot chilies.....

Chief Wiggum: Afternoon, Homer. Care for some chili? I've added an extra ingredient just for you.
[Dramatic pause.]
Chief Wiggum: The merciless peppers of Quetzlzacatenango! Grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum.
Homer Simpson: Uh, Wiggy? My chili's getting cold.

I once met (and catered to) a man with a capsicum fetish, and had to wash the soles of my boots in vinegar afterwards. :devil: :devil:
 
I did it as a reward for him being able to tell me about it. I was the third person he'd told or something like that, and the only one that took him seriously.

He wanted jalapeno peppers smashed and rubbed into his skin-- his face and genitals. So I did, which took some care because the boots were Chippewa cop boots and I did not want to damage tendons or anything like that...

For me, it was mostly technical -- and emotionally boring. It was a kink that took the place of actual fucking, and I like a guy's face to be up near mine when he screams, not down on the floor...:eek:
