re:In his opinion, if you don't have to wipe your brow, blow your nose, and dry your eyes after every mouthful, it ain't a curry

i find i get that kind of a reaction to the "medium" spicey chicken tika masala i can buy in my grocery frozen foods sections.. labeled "authentic flavors"! Hot can be a matter of what you are used too!

I highly recommend "Dave's Insanity Sauce" which I believe is made in Perth. Two drops per person will usually achieve the above result.

Interesting, Max, the you have ice cream and pretzels in Zild. That's a Pennsylvania treat that I was raised on.

Pretzels are very popular in PA. Chocolate covered ones were an exotic rare treat when I was a youth; nowadays they are so common you see them in 7-11s (convenience stores).

Then there are soft pretzels. The best ones are fresh made, a foot in diameter and an inch thick, still warm from the oven, chewy, yeasty, and covered with plenty of large-grain salt. I learned to really appreciate them from my grandmother, who doted on them. Her favorite part (and mine) was the knots.

My favourite in this category is "Ouch!", a concoction by one J. Hicks of Sandy Lake, PA. Unlike some sauces of this ilk it is not only quite hot, but it has a good taste.

This is really just to mark my return to the board after a short absence, and my finding over 25,000 new posts since I last looked. I haven't read them all—nor will I, of course—but youse do seem to have been living in interesting times.

Pretzels and ice cream sound good.

Also, fries dipped into chocolate ice cream are good, too.

And a word related to homemade ice cream:

dasher

Dasher is ironically named, I think, because it's the device in the center of tub that you sink into the ice. Why ironically named? Because the dasher doesn't dash at all. It just sits there while the tub dashes around it, the tub gradually losing speed till even a strong-armed churn turner can barely turn the handle any longer.

I will say to my dying day that hand-cranked homemade ice cream is better than that from electricity-powered makers.
