muikabochi 208 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 One restaurant here in Muikamachi that I really like does curry. Their normal curry is hot but there's an option for very hot. I had it once, it was just ridiculous. I love their normal one but this was just hot for the sake of being as hot as possible. Can't see how anyone could actually enjoy eating it actually.

Alexander L 80 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've had stuff that makes the lips tingle in a way that they go numb. It feels like an electric current is passing through them as they oscillate uncontrollably at 50Hz. Sichuan people are nuts. Link to post Share on other sites

1 4 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I had a vindaloo ages ago. It must have been on the mild side, it was actually really good. Is it just me or does beer not go well "cooling down" curry hotness? Water does it for me, but beer doesn't seem to have much effect. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 both beer and water have no significant effect, you may get a very short term effect due to the ambient temp of the water vs your tongue....but it won't actually clear the chemical that makes the heat. The chemical that creates the heat/spiciness is soluble in fat, hence why yoghurt based Lassi drinks are popular in India, Thailand etc. If you have a glass of milk, its much better at dealing with the heat.

Oi. Don't spread that around. Everytime I have a nice curry, my wife suggests a mango lassi to drink. No thanks. Curry goes better with beer. Link to post Share on other sites
