What can I say? Just being honest...

I'll admit...I have missed a few days of work due to pelvic discomfort. I sometimes forget my limits and go a bit beyond. It sucks to lack **** confidence when working far from a bathroom....PLUS our toilets are hot and sticky porta-potties so who wants to spend much time in there anyway ??
I don't smoke though. I rarely drink. I don't use any illegal drugs, pretty much nothing except caffeine and anti-inflammatory stuff as needed. Spicy food and fast cars are my habits.

Kern's having a stroke eating that stuff, besides singing Johnny Cash the next morning.
Someone else has no parasites in their butt.
There's hot sauce (the devils seasoning) being quoted everywhere.

Being of proud Pa Dutch/German heritage, I don't even like black pepper. I have to admit I've been lured by the aroma of hot wings from time to time, but don't like the taste or after affects.
Bratwurst, sauerkraut, and beer does nicely thank you.

Me being Mexican, we are almost forced to eat spicy since we were kids, and you're right wacko, spice cover the flavour of food but... Mexican food is made this way, spicy.

Growing up Pops wouldn't allow spicy food in the house.... Mom's cooking was absolutely bland & boring... But living in an agricultural area in California I had plenty of Mexican friends... At first I wasn't exactly adventurous in my food selection but quickly learned spicy is tasty.. Then I joined the Navy & wound up tasting all sorts of foreign foods, some I really like & others I can do without... But spicy Mexican dishes remain a favorite.. Especially when a few Margaritas are included...

I wasn't going to comment in this thread, until i saw @moparwacko post.
I too, am 100% Dutch heritage, all four grandparents born in Holland . The only spice used in my house growing up was salt. Black pepper was exotic, used by guests only. I dont think i have purposely had a jalapeno pepper in my life. The first time i ever had a taco bell burrito supreme, in high school, i couldn't finish it, it was too spicy.
I have built up some tolerance for spicy by now, but i still dont seek it out much.

German, Irish and a little English. Taco Bell hot sauce is like dumping on ketchup. I acquired my taste for hot in northwestern Nebraska of all places.

My dad came from Germany as well, he used pepper and often had hot German mustard on sausages. Maybe it's a regional thing.

I've always loved hot and spicy things, maybe that's why I have three different cook books just with chili recipes.

I've never understood chili cookoffs. It always seemed to me that tbe goal was to set people on fire, rather than make good-tasting chili.

and drink beer.

Lived in San Diego for 10 years and really got a good appreciation of zippy Mexican food. Best with a Dos Equis Ambar! Really hard to find a great Mexican restaurant on the east coast. San Diego = Carne Asada Burritos! Love them but have to make my own these days.

I should probably put this in the jokes forum but I think it belongs here... Should explain Chili pretty well....


They have a Chili Cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the San Antonio city park. The notes are from an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from Springfield, IL.

Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted".

Here are the scorecards from the event: (Frank is Judge #3)

Chili # 1 Eddie's Maniac Monster Chili...
Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Judge # 3 -- (Frank) What the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.

Chili # 2 Austin's Afterburner Chili...
Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.

Chili # 3 Ronny's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili...
Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Needs more beans.
Judge # 2 -- A bean less chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now.
Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting toasted from all of the beer...

Chili # 4 Dave's Black Magic...
Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili..
Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid,was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-lb woman is starting to look cute...Is chili an aphrodisiac?

Chili # 5 Lisa's Legal Lip Remover...
Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really irks me that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. "Forget those rednecks."

Chili # 6 Pam's Very Vegetarian Variety...
Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.
Superb.
Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulphuric flames. I crapped myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone.

Chili # 7 Carla's Screaming Sensation Chili...
Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants now have lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing it's too painful. Forget it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.

Chili # 8 Karen's Toenail Curling Chili...
Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor fella, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili?
It should be noted that the judges are selected more carefully now........it took the fire departments disaster team two days to put Frank out!

@1 Wild R/T , i once went to a car show at a casino in laughlin that had a chili cookoff running at the same time. Cleared my sinuses from a quarter mile away!
I'm a LOT smarter than Frank. Lol
But dang, thats funny!

Just what the heck is supposed to be in Texas chili? I have read it was to have originated on Texas cattle drives. Where would the tomatoes have come from? Tomato paste I doubt it. Defiantly would not have that nasty slimy hamburger in it everyone here wants to load it down with. Beef I can see. Unless sick every dead critter along the way would have been dressed and cooked. Dried beans were the staple of the time and anything else that could have been dried. No refrigeration miles form no where. The ice truck sure didn't make deliveries. So just what went into it?

I have several chili books, and the oldest Texas recipes were pretty simple. Beef, onions and chili peppers. No beans, no tomato.
