    Yeah, some of us just can't do without chilli for long.

    I recall how we 'suffered' when we're in NZ and also in HK. In NZ, a Chinese restaurant owned by a Malaysian family came to our aid. And in HK, we're given pepper to go with the Kentucky chicken.
    P-L-E-C-O-R-Y=M-A-N-I-A!!! YEAH!
    FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.

    Seems like chilli is not commonly available in europe or the americas... So they used peppers (as in those green, yellow peppers used for tabasco) for spicing things up... And the south americans are darn good at eating "chillis"...

    I have a tendency to bring my Western friends (except UK) to eat chilli and pepper crabs! It's fun!!

    Cheers,

    p.s. UK folks's unofficial national cuisine is practically curry, so no shock value at all.
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Contrary to what you guys said, most of my UK friends survived the chilli and black pepper crabs with no problems at all. The other European friends find it a serious challenge.

    remember my bangalore pix? all those guys there were so worried I couldn't take the "hot" indian food. but none of their food were anywhere near the SG indian standard, not to even compare with the thai or indon stuff.

    and they couldn't believe me when I insist I needed more spicy stuff. they think I'm trying to be gungho

    Truth is, indian curry isn't really spicy. It's not really supposed to be. Malay food on the other hand is meant to kill satan himself. And peranakan curry? woo... you're asking for trouble there
