Alright, so I’ve been a massive soft cock this week.
After some ‘incidents’ with extremely hot sauces, about 10 days ago, I have been suffering severe stomach pain. Due to this, I’ve been on a self imposed chilli ban, for a week.
My theory is that due to constant extreme exposure to capsaicin (the hot stuff in chilli) I gave myself IBS. Basically I would feel fine but if I ate anything chilli, high fibre or acidic, I would get immediate and lasting stomach pain.
However, it’s time to stop being a fucking sook. There is too much hot shit to get through, to be sitting round feeling sorry for myself.
On a side note, this hiatus gave me the chance to focus on some other culinary pursuits. I made my first batch of biltong. If you don’t know what this is, then you are not my friend. The first batch was too salty. I used fine grained salt in the cure, but will use rock next time. Look out for some Ghost Chilli biltong in the future!
Have I mentioned I’m now going by the name ‘The Biltong King’???
