the rayu/chili i made a while ago. :hehe:

i'm formulating a new one that's even hotter for my spice loving buddies. if anyone wants a bottle, shoot me a PM.

Probably a 9/10, anything above a 9 loses all flavor and just makes your tongue numb and your forehead sweaty.

Here we go again... :sweat:


E. coli linked to beef now reported in 5 states

Tue Jul 15, 6:58 PM ET

An E. coli outbreak traced to recalled beef in Michigan and Ohio has spawned cases in three other states, U.S. health officials said Tuesday.

New York, Kentucky and Indiana each have one lab-confirmed case of a bacterial infection that matches the 41 previously reported cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The outbreak has been traced to beef sold in Kroger supermarkets in Michigan and Ohio. The Kroger Co. last month recalled ground beef sold in Michigan and Ohio stores, then this month expanded it to include other states. Nebraska Beef Ltd. supplied the meat, ultimately recalling 5.3 million pounds of beef.

The Kentucky patient lives near Ohio, but the New York and Indiana patients did not travel to either of the states where the outbreak began, said Mark Sotir, a CDC investigator working on the outbreak.

All 44 illnesses in the outbreak are attributed to the same type of E. coli, one that causes a potentially deadly bacterial infection. The illnesses began between May 30 and June 24. CDC officials say 21 of the victims have been hospitalized and one developed kidney failure, but no one has died.

I like spicy food as much as the next guy, but I've never understood the need to make things hotter and hotter. Even if you can endure the heat, the flavor of the food has long been lost. Why not just drink a bottle of hot sauce instead?

It's the challenge, I'll bet... Like a lot of X-Games. :sweat:

I got dragged (reluctantly) to a large shopping centre in Sydney on the way home from work yesterday - after picking up the family, who were visiting friends. I changed my tune though when I found out they had 2 Japanese restaurants in the food court! I finally got to have katsu don! Oishkatta yo! I know it would be much better in Japan or in a good Japanese restaurant, but it was still nice.

There was also a shop that sold Japanese products that was called Japan Shop, of all things (they must have spent a long time thinking that one up!). They had some beautiful stuff in there. I finally got a good quality pair of Japanese hashi after using cheap plastic ones for years :victory:

Sounds great! It's always nice to discover a good restaurant you can bank on in the future. :victory:

Katsu don is a delicious dish.

In honor of your discovery:

Hai! It didn't look that good, but it was tasty. Nice pics BTW!

There was also a sushi train, which I would have considered except there was a queue to get in :sweat: and I was eating with my family, who didn't want to try sushi.

well some people, like me, actually likes the new taste after it becomes hotter. which is why i don't add hot sauce on everything

Were they gold-coated? If so, don't forget to do the Kuitan hand-twirl! Itadakima~su! :hehe:

No, unfortunately :( I was looking for a pair in a case so I could do the dramatic unveiling too, but no... :(

I see where your coming from. For me, I've had the hottest version of buffalo wings and though I could handle the heat, there was no flavor anymore. Of course, these were at a Hooters, so they probably never had flavor to begin with. :hehe:

Here's a question: If there was a Hooters in Japan, would it be called Takoyakis? :beaten:
