Food Combinations

I was at the commissary a couple of weeks ago and passed by the deli. They had made bread with lots of cheeses and jalapenos in it. I saw it and instantly knew it needed tomato soup and a glass of red wine. I got some and fixed it all up that evening. Added lots of stuff to the tomato soup (fresh diced garlic, fresh diced onion, fresh cracked pepper, etc.), but that's often how I do things.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

That sounds pretty good.

I had some jalapeno beer years ago. Not good. Beer is great with spicy hot food, but spicy hot beer itself is just wrong.

So what do you drink the quench the burn?
A glass of milk as a side order?

Need more info! Pickle pinwheels - pickles, ham and cream cheese. How does one optimally assemble said ingredients?

Have also tried the Jalapeno Beer. Awful. Pumpkin beer is fantastic, and I don't like pumpkin.

Ingr: Room temp ham slices, small diameter dill pickles, softened cream cheese.

Dry ham and pickles with paper towel.

Schmear ham with cream cheese

Roll pickle up in ham slices.

Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Keeping knife clean and damp, Slice into 1/3" pieces (if you are doing this with other people around, make sure you don't cut their fingers off, because they can't wait till they are on the platter)

Your reward (beyond the complements from everyone) is the "ends."
Voila!

Depends on how you do it. Most of the pepper beers leave the pepper in the bottle. They get way too hot that way. Left Hand's "Fade to Black" last year was a smoked chili porter, with just a hint of pepper. It was never overly spicy. It was fantastic. I always wanted just a little more chili in it. It's the first time I'd had a chili beer that didn't suck, and it proved to me that it can be done.

I sometimes do a jalepino martini, which is very much like a regular martini except that you replace the olive with a pickled jalepino slice. That works pretty well, too. Capsaicin is soluable in alcohol, so it gets REALLY hot toward the bottom of the glass. It's best to down those last couple of sips quickly! Or fish the pepper out and eat it, but where's the fun in that?

I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

You're right. They had the jalapeno still in the bottle, probably for the novelty of it all.
