I tried the KFC Nashville Red today. I would describe it as “hot” in the way that so-called Bar-B-Que potato chips are hot. IOW, it tasted kind of “artificial”. Here in Carolina Bojangles is far better.
So Red Beard pulls his bike up behind her car so she won’t drive off drunk, she backs up anyway, smashes his scooter but at least that stops her.
Boy saved her life, or better yet somebody else’s. Sam better give him a big ol’ Red on Red hug, thank him profusely, and assure him he’ll get his HD fixed or replaced, and maybe give him a lifetime gift certificate for all the red chicken he’ll ever want, whatever the hell that is.
Chris you do have a gift for interesting and obscure minutia…I love it.

Off track a little bit, the header on today’s strip (at least my own version) is an ad for a book on amazon titled “breakfast with the dirt cult”,supposedly a semi-autobiographical story about a soldier in Afganistan.Anybody here read that one?

Looks to be some sort of Nashville thing where they murder a perfectly good piece of chicken with enough cayenne pepper paste to choke a cave troll and then throw it on a nice piece of bread with those little corrugated sliced pickles, hot fish is the same thing but with a murdered piece of fish instead, yeah, not a fan of overly spicy!

If it gets passed Jalapeno I don’t want it. I Really like Jalapenos as they add just enough spice to a dish without overpowering the flavor of the food. I’ve seen these macho dudes trying to out do each other to see who can eat the hottest pepper. Looks stupid to me. I enjoy my food. I’m from Louisiana and have eaten Jalapenos and Tabasco all my life, nothing better. I turn 73 this year, so that a lot of hot things.

Chicken seasoned with salt, pepper, and thyme, simmered with onions in tomato sauce (not fried — browned, then simmered in the sauce for 45 minutes or however long it takes). I bet it would be better with some chili peppers added to the sauce.

Lime. Lime will keep the mouth from burning. Suck on the lime, then eat a bite of the spicy food. (Or, you can cut up the lime really small and pop a bit in your mouth just before the hot food goes in.) Learned that trick eating peppers in Thailand.

We called it mahogany chicken. Same thing. One part lard, three parts cayenne, heated together to make into a paste/sauce, used to coat the battered and fried chicken. Served with white bread and dill pickle chips. It’ll open your sinuses. A few places put the sauce on the chicken before the batter, then pan fry or deep fry it in a broaster. The hottest is sauced before batter and broasting, then has additional sauce on it after being broasted. However, a mandatory part is to marinade the chicken in buttermilk to retain moisture during cooking. You don’t want dried-out mahogany chicken. The best is also deep fried or broasted in lard, but that is becoming rare these days. Lards is best, but peanut oil is also good as the fry oil.
