It's just nuts, is all.
Hell, I love some spicy tang to my food, but there comes a point where the spice overwhelms the taste of the food itself..then what's the point?
Macho/Macha bravado gone wild?
For the sake of trying.I've had Jerk Chicken so hot that you couldn't taste the chicken, nor the burnt flavour of the smoking sprocess. I've had curry dishes that when blindfolded, I couldn't tell what meat I was eating.
It was cute for a while, but I'd rather taste the food and have the spice be an add-on to highlight it, rather than the alternative.
