As long as you can diffuse the seeds from it you can get good flavor without burning the crap out of yourself.... one of them goes a long way though....

Caviar? Not my favorite food but a small dab on a cracker won't kill me.

Actually, the capsaicin is produced in the placenta (the junk the seeds are attached to), so it'sva matter of removing that without disturbing it too much
I don't typically do roe, and I'm EXTREMELY finicky about my sushi.
Kevin "Lord Zombitten" Buckner 2015-02-24T11:05:08-05:00
Never had caviar, but I have had tobikko, and that was fine
Jeff Buckner 2015-02-24T11:06:00-05:00
Habaneros are for children. Scorpion peppers taste so much better if you don't mind your face melting a little bit.
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T11:06:23-05:00
@Potatten: So I take it you don't see the sushi that is in Whole Foods or Harris Teeter? (I assume you have the grocery chains in your neck of the woods)
There was a show named Fear or something like that. They made them eat "fish eggs". Everybody was like bleeeeech but the Japanese man that had to eat it couldn't be happier. If they told it was caviar everybody would want it. It's funny.

@GC: I didn't. Which is why I want my prize. Or trinket.

Ours is called "Steirische Klachlsuppe"... do not even try to pronounce it, I do not want to be responsible for your tongue choking you in self defense.
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-24T11:34:20-05:00
Well of course, the Steirer have a website about it *g*
Peter 'General Calculus' W. 2015-02-24T11:35:30-05:00
Not going to touch tripe... it's dog's food. I can still remember my mother buying it for our dog, only to have my father picking out the "best pieces" for himself....
Geist de la Muerte Gatito 2015-02-24T11:35:38-05:00
The pictures look tame. Actually the soup looks very tasty. *stomach growls*
In my opinion Geist, people had better keep their cream cheese the hell away form my sushi. A nice beautiful cut of fish laid out on a small mound of rice is the way to go.
And then there is the ghost pepper. If you grind it up and touch it, your skin will burn. That is how bad it is.
I'm such a chili head, though, that I can actually taste them
Is that a dare? Send me some!
I want to burn my finger off. Because wild.
How anyone can eat those things is beyond me. I'd rather eat chitlins
I've eaten pig everything as a kid.
Habañero poppers are a good way to taste them without feeling like your face is going to explode
@Idle: So eating pig feet is no problem? I've eaten that as a kid and still enjoy it today (when I can find it)
I don't think I could eat pig feet. Or head cheese
Head cheese, no. Roasted pig feet is soooo good.
As long as you can diffuse the seeds from it you can get good flavor without burning the crap out of yourself.... one of them goes a long way though....
My taste buds are in a new realm now.
We didn't have a choice of meat.
@LZ What about fish eggs? heheh
Caviar? Not my favorite food but a small dab on a cracker won't kill me.

I am allergic tonseafood so no caviar for me.
@Jeff: I do but more important, I want my insides not to melt. Don't get me started on how would feel coming out the other end.
Fear Factor?
Exactly.
And yet people will eat something called "Rocky Mountain Oysters". Not so much when they find out they are bull's balls.
Fish eggs seems pretty tame compared to other stuff they'd make people eat.
Actually I'm not into the big red stuff. I'm into scrambled cod roe on toast.
Bull's balls. Big whoop.
Rocky Mountain Oysters = a great big, steaming pile of NOPE!
The texture of salmon makes me not like it.
Hello Kittens! Everything moving along splendidly?
@Geist: They're actually called Prairie Oysters. I've never had them myself.
Hello GC!
Yes! Join us on the bull's balls cuisine topic.
SALMON! GIEV!
letts make it to 100k comments before july
@GM: Eh? Since when? There is even a festival named after the Rocky Mountain Oysters. (At least that is what the food channel says)
They have been a speciality in these parts of the world as well. Fried with a crust of breadcrumbs, egg and flour.
They aren't sold anymore since BSE.
@millifish: Why? We chat in here because we enjoy it. Not to reach a comment goal.
@Geist and @millifish, that's not to say, we won't make it til July....
@geist well i mean we donated to get a game but its nice that we broke records
I've always heard them called Rocky Mountain Oysters. Of course around here, the term is also applied to sheep balls
They tried to ban pork belly soup. With red hot pepper and garlic and vinegar. Fat chance, pals.
@GC: I'm pretty sure that we will go past that until the Kitten Corps gets it's own chat room.
One of the best sobering up potions.
@Tsveta, something like that is know here too. It is not made from pork bellies though but from the legs (the claws part), snouts and ears.
Though we substitute the red hot pepper with a generous helping of finely ground horse radish.
The other one is pickled cabbage brine.
@Idle: Why did they try to ban it? It sounds delish.
Even better.
It's not EU friendly :P Some health crap they try to push on us since year -5.
Cooked pig snout is also a traditional new years food. If you eat it on january 1st, you will find wealth.
Oh. So it's like when Mayor Bloomberg tried to ban 64 oz soft drinks. New Yorkers were not having that.
I actually rather like it... I do not eat tripe though.
Or cooking collar greens on New Year's. Eating them is suppose to bring you money.
We usually suck it up and swallow, but not this time.
I admire Mayor Bloomberg's heroism and caring for the nation :)
suck it up and swallow, but not this time.
Do I get a Nobel Prize for not making a dirty joke out of that?
Tripe is actually quite a major ingredient in said soup :)
I'll eat all the fatten food I want! Who will keep the medicine companies in business if I start to eat healthy?
@Geist, never joke about sucking and swallowing.
Eli Lilly stock holders will go on welfare if I don't keep in in BMW's.
@Geist it was my joke! Don't you dare steal it!
@GC: I didn't. Which is why I want my prize. Or trinket.
Ours is called "Steirische Klachlsuppe"... do not even try to pronounce it, I do not want to be responsible for your tongue choking you in self defense.
I expected something harder.
@Geist NO.
*looks Steirische Klachlsuppe up on Google*
I can't find this receipe in english
I'd eat that. On the "ready" pictures.
@Geist I very doubt there would be one... even here only Steirer actually eat it.
http://www.steiermark.at/cms/beitrag/10044791/90695/
Found it!
It is a bit unusaul to se the "finger" bones and claws of a pig in your soup.
Yup. Ours is directly translated a tripe soup.

Some photos.
Well of course, the Steirer have a website about it *g*

GC Hahahah
Pics can not translate the smell of it, which is the thing that is putting me off.

This is far from tame, trust me.
Back...
To answer questions: NO Geist, the gas station sushi is NOT for me. I usually prefer it rather plain to.
@LZ: I just meant that just the use of the actual fruit of the pepper is where it's at for me.
@Potatten: Getting real sushi is hard in the US. Or at least in D.C.
@Idle: That picture just looks like they put a pound of hot peppers on top. I could do without those. Otherwise it looks nice.
There's enough asian around me that it's not TOO hard, it's just finding a place and building trust.
OMG Tsveta what is that, a bowl of fire?
There is a place in D.C. called "Sushi Go Round" that serves some of the weirdest looking sushi I have ever seen. Does cream cheese even go in sushi?
No, you can not. Half a pound is acceptable but not less.
@P Pretty much. Add vinegar and garlic to that. Lots.
I meant to say hot pepper flakes.
And nobody, even GC, can smell the tripe.
In my opinion Geist, people had better keep their cream cheese the hell away form my sushi. A nice beautiful cut of fish laid out on a small mound of rice is the way to go.
Or anything else.
@P I agree.
So you prefer nigiri
I agree Potatten. Give me raw tuna on some rice any day. In fact, just give me the tuna. Mmmmm
Yes. But he described it better :) He's a sushi poet.
And Geist goes for the sashimi
Or tuna on a piece of squash. (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
When you think about it, raw fish is an acquired taste as well.
*lobs a tuna at Geist's head*
Nigiri-zushi is ok. I just like it simple. I'm in it for the fish after all, not a bunch of other stuff.
Hey, it's your tongue that would pay the price for that decision ;-)
