Gourmet Garden

[dezz]

I think the gourmet garden rep was a bit of alright too...so i kept her little display stocked right up...wasn't hard when the shit didnt sell

[GTRgeoff]

Wasabi is just puke like most Japanese food. Ive been a survival instructor and lived off the land and some of the stuff is just godawful looking like tree worm but still tastes better than Japanese.

Also if you can't handle chillis in the food way, just get the birdseye chiilis (small but very hot) and just swallow it whole with water like a tablet. Wait 20 min and feel the rush as you start to digest. I had a big bag and had one every day. Even Nelly was taking them like that.

All recipes from Siam Kitchen, Lamai Beach, Koh Samui. Highly recommended for a morning of learning and cooking, then eating. Enjoy. I hope you all appreciate what I had to endure to bring these to you.

Which store? I'd have her number

[dezz]

Safeway 3223

I THINK she was alright...I can't really remember though...or we might have had a temp replacing the normal 1 that was alright...long time ago...

either way, she was second best to the rep that did some of the seafood....and the CHEP pallets.....dayamnnnnn!

[GTRgeoff]

Forgot to mention, Maggi is a thai cooking sauce by Maggi but I haven't found it here. try a mix of terriyaki and soy.

Thai sweet basil is not like italian sweet basil so look around for the right stuff.

[dezz]

safeway sells thai basil...well they did when i was in charge

anyway, everyone post more ways to kill pete.

First of all thanks for the recipes :-)

As for satisfying Chilli cravings I find the best way is to have some home made 'Chilli Vodka'.

Simply get a good bottle of vodka - add whole chillies (of whatever variety is pleasing to you - although be careful with those orange habaneros) wait one or two weeks until the colour is leached from the chillies (when they are getting white it means the drink is ready) and enjoy - in moderation ;-)

Also will highly recommend Mao's in Brunswick Street who make a great 'Hunang Beef' which is about 50:50 Beef and Chilli

HA HA HA HA!

WELCOME CHILDREN OF FIRE!

I grow chilli, about 8 varieties in the backyard.

I make fermented chilli sauce (in the shed or backyard as I'm banned from the house after tear gassing it a few years back), a 6 year old culture of yeast goes into every bottle to begin the process. The sauces are well.....hotish, you will not find anything as hot on the supermarket shelf and if you think nando's is spicy or you have a heart or respiratory condition it's best not to try it by the spoonfull.

I make crazy mexican tequila aka fire water, using my special home grown 'red savina' habanero chillis. One shot of it is like an out of body experience of pain. Napalm down the throat and an intense burning pain in your stomache followed by a great high from the endorphins and a warm sensation in your stomache for 10min or so. I am working on less potent versions using milder thai chillis.

I love red savina habanero chilli's! can you say half a million scoville units of heat? Yes!

Thai chillis and the like are for little girls, they are childrens chilli. Whenver I get a macho mate telling me how too hot is not hot enough, I ready myself to say the words " welcome to mexico gringo chica"

There is reportedly a chilli in India that has now the title of hottest chilli (naga jolokia) although it is disputed.

[Bass Junky]

I once eat a Savina raw and chewed all the seeds at a Chilli Festival.

It hurt. Lots.

They guy who won ate 13. I feared for his bottom.

clearly you have never been to Thailand. Those Burkes Backside chillis don't count. Like anywhere their chillis are all different depending on what you want. Just cos they sell nancy girl chillis here as "Thai" doesn't make all Thai chillis weak. In Hawaii they don't even have Hawaiian burgers with ham and pineapple.

Anyhoo hope you enjoy the recipes. I'm about to make spring rolls......

[Kaz200]

my stepmother is of asian descent and used to put chilli on bloody everything.. just little red chilli's from her chinese mum's vegie garden, crushed up, seeds and all and put in a huge jar.. dont know what variety but the smell used to drive me insane.. she put it on everything.. even carbonara??

I bet pete's got an addiction to the toilet too

oh and PS Michael can't even handle a laksa.. WEAK So my tolerance is now pitiful!

[mcdee]

small chilli in a corona bottle. eat it at the end

yes when I talk thai chilli I mean the ones in Thailand. not the bunnings variety of midget capcicums. They taste quite nice actually but, aren't what I call hot. They are soothing in comparison to habanero's. I have right now some cross polinated thai chillis with habanero's I am waiting to ripen, the heat will probably not be that great but, I'm interested to see what flavour I get.

Thai chillis are chillis for little girls. People who think they are hot I keep away from putting quantity of my sauces on thier food for the sake of retaining friendships.

On the other hand when I was in thailand last I took my chilli sauce with me, as usual, and had the great pleasure of half killing several locals who thought an 'aussie' wouldn't know much about really hot chilli. 'Welcome to mexico my asian friend'.

The Thai people really appreciate mexican chilli once they get a taste for it though, a local resturant I used to go to I ended up gifting them a big bottle in exchange for mekong.

The Indian people also get really into mexican chilli for curries.

Meh thai curry aint hot.

1 meal of my mums curry pete and you will be shitting out your stomach lining the next morning

[Mulkers]

Tried stag chili?

It must have crack cocaine in it or something.

It is awesome.
