I had a bowl of Thai green curry for dinner. It was quite spicy in and
of itself, but there were some large pieces of red chili in it and by
the end of the bowl my mouth was burning and I decided not to eat the
last 2 pieces of chili.
As soon as I put the bowl aside, Vino jumped up on the table with an
urgent mrrrp and headed straight for the bowl. I removed my spoon so he
could get better access to lick out the bowl. I figured he would lick
out the curry but leave the chilis. Nope. He ate it all, curry
remnants *and* chili. Didn't even hesitate. He finished it off, licked
his chops and sat on top of my scanner, preening and looking for praise
:-)
Has he got no taste buds at all?!?!

My Mingus used to do that, right up to vindaloo strength.
There were two things he wouldn't touch: mint and mustard.
He did have a sense of smell.

Stinky loves both. I don't get it at all.

I guess he is part Thai and can handle the heat! :)

There may be some truth to that! Many years ago, when I was
on a tour to Mexico sponsored by my college, we stopped for
lunch in a small village. The kitchen looked clean, so I
ignored the paranoia of my fellow Minnesotans and ordered
enchiladas, rather than their insisted-upon eggs (because
those were considered "safe"). Trouble was, especially back
then, I was not used to such spicy food, and could not eat
all of it. Rather than waste food, I fed what I could not
eat to a little dog who had followed us into the restaurant.
He did not hesitate for a moment, but promptly devoured
the whole plateful! (probably afraid I'd change my mind.)

**YOU EAT THE ***CHILI*** IN YOUR GREEN CURRY???
(I love -- absolutely love -- Duck with Green Curry, but I never eat the
chilis.)

Apparently not.

What would Vino do if you had used some Dave's Insanity Sauce? ;)
At dinner time my chair is usually occupied with a furry resident if I leave
it for one minute. If I give Five a whiff of the bottle of Dave's or the
food I put it in, I can then sit down again as she's out of there PDQ :O

A dear friend sent Joel (DH) a bottle of Dave's insanity sauce, because Joel
says he loves 'hot food' (and he does, he can eat Vindaloo). I had a
*speck*of that sauce on, less than the size of a 'o', and thought I'd died
and gone to hell. Joel said it was "a bit hot".
The man has a wax coated tongue!

My husband has a tongue of steel and even *he* has had his bottle of Dave's
sauce for about 5 years now and it's only about halfway gone. He uses it
mainly in his brine. TFM®'s (Fat Man's) Kickin' Chicken Brine:
Yield: 1 serving
2 gallons Water
1 ¼ cup Pickling salt
¾ cup Brown sugar
3 tablespoon Garlic powder
½ tablespoon Chili powder
½ tablespoon Ground sage
1 ½ tablespoon Crushed red pepper
4 Bay leaves
½ tablespoon Paprika
¾ tablespoon *Dave's Insanity Sauce*
Enjoy! TFM® Posted to bbq-digest by "The Fat Man"

What is Dave's Insanity Sauce?
Sounds like something Dave the DH would use or my friend John who has been
known to eat raw red chillies, seeds and all the way some people eat sweets
(I saw him eat a whole bag full once when watching telly)

I have a long class on Sunday afternoons in an airless basement, this
spring. We are always trying to find ways to keep our eyes open (the
instructor, too), and yesterday, one lady brought bagels with
jalapen~o cream cheese! That worked! I think I'm hooked.;)
