Thread: "Hash browns" humble taters...

Hungarian paprika is the best, I'm told.

Spicy paprika is probably my favorite spice. It goes well on everything except cereal in a bowl of milk.

I think you're imagining that, and that you may be wrong.

Try smoked paprika on a slice of fresh apple and tell me I'm wrong....try it as a garnish on a salad....

Gaybob will tell you you are wrong stroller by showing you a picture of mein kampf

Alas DrGayBob, you have a lot more in common with bumbutters than I do. What's confusing you old man? Are you forgetting that your "oh look at me" was shown to be "oh look at me DrGayBob, I've less credibility than Snubbles"?

How do you like them ONIONS, Gaybob?

um, are you OK? You’ve been really rather strange since you started posting again, have you had some kind of wicker man or straw dogs experience out there in the sticks?

To be fair I can't remember ever seeing a post from you until my return. Memorable, heh?

Within seconds, I'd say.

So you were in charge of the "tater caper?"

Samhan suggested that any labels found on the bags were put there either as a prank, or as a deliberate attack on the al-Nasseem Cooperative. Indicating that products labeled as coming from Israel were hardly likely to sell like hot potatoes, Samhan vowed to find out who was behind the tater caper.

The potato is not humble! Spuds, chilli, tomatoes, and maize - miracle foods from South America. If it wasn't for the Incas we'd all still be living on broad beans and barley porridge.

Yeah. Try telling Thai that chillies are a foreign import.
Disbelief.
But point out why is pepper "prik thai" and chilli just "prik"? and they think abit about it, seeing the anomaly.

As an aside, there are some great old Thai recipes that use black pepper as the main spice (and no chilli, of course!).

We...?

Perhaps, for you backward European types.

Yet, the original chilli introduction, supposedly by the Portuguese [??], appeared [in flavour, texture, and heat] nothing whatsoever similar to the contemporary Thai variety, taking on a perplexing similarity to the Southern Chinese varieties of chillies.

Think about it, if you care to - or if you're capable.

Well, if you're capable of pondering it; An import from China would be a foreign import, wouldn't it?
But more to the point, chilli is not native to China either.
Bob is correct.

Mexico say some really smart science dudes...which technically is Central America, no? Or did you mean wild chilies?
