I wanna eat there. It has a wee bit of promise. It might actually be hot.
well i'm always complaining that they give me 'white boy hot' regardless of what 'heat level' i order at local thai eateries, so's maybe i should check that shit out.

Or you could make your own. :shrug: As I recall, there are quite a few nice Chinese restaurants in the Sea-Tac area. Shop around until you find one willing to give you more than the 'white boy' heat. If you are into serious heat, I'd also suggest bringing some of your own. :devious: They hate that, and will give you sauce that'll melt your eyeballs. (the good stuff) :grinyes:

Yeah, even when you ask for non-white-boy-hot, they still give it to you. What gives?

Its common knowledge that the taste buds of the average caucasian can't take more than a jalapeno on the heat scale. :lol2:
or was that a racist comment? ;)

LOL. :rofl:
I'm guessing some gringo a long time ago asked for the hot stuff, got it and went to the hospital. Now gringos everywhere are still paying the price.

Tonks and I went to a Pizza parlor last night. We order a pie with some semblance of jalapenos on it like every 5th time or so. Normally it has fairly mild heat and ends up being a bit sweet... but last night... woof! It was some spicy, biting peppers piled high on that pie. I was impressed.
I was flapass stunned. Delicious stuff.

I'm a big fan of pepperoni and jalapeno pizza... good "meaty" flavor with a little bit of a nip to it... quite tasty.
This was a steak and cheese white pie with jalapenos instead of green peppers so we were eating steak, onions, mushroom and jalapenos with a ricotta and herb sauce.

When you guys say that you have jalapenos on yer pizzas, are they fresh or are they brined (we only ever get the brined and I can not imagine that flavour mixing very well with ricotta)?
Out of the can and pre-sliced. I guess that's what you call brined... but also, pizzas generally don't have ricotta cheese here. It's usually, in the US at least, monterey jack and/or cheddar.

Brine = salt-water - so the jalapenos always have a slight taste of the brine on the pizzas & ricotta's kinda a delicate flavour. Not two I'd mix at first blush.
Peppers are so easy to grow the eateries ought to buy fresh. Canned is for winter emergency use only.
I use our dehydrator to quick dry peppers for chili powder. We are all used to it but when people come in from the outside...it's fun to watch the reaction.

Dried jalapenos lose enough of their heat to go from mild to unnoticable. Habaneros, OTOH...:grinyes:

Thai Dragon
Those little ones? I've only had them fresh. :shrug:
I brought some back from overseas once in a plastic bag in my pocket. What I didn't know was that the bag had a small hole in it...until 30 minutes into the flight when one of the chilies broke, and got my leg damp. It was...from that point on...a very uncomfortable trip. :errrr:
Brine = salt-water - so the jalapenos always have a slight taste of the brine on the pizzas & ricotta's kinda a delicate flavour. Not two I'd mix at first blush.
This brand is brined but not overly so...more like a fresh jalapeno pickle.
They also put the jalapenos on top of the cheese so they roast a bit in the oven. The flavor is actually a nice contrast to the ricotta.
We like it anyway =D
You have pizzas in Georgia that use ricotta cheese? Over here it's always jack and/or cheddar.

I don't think ours ever has a variety of cheddar or jack - it's this dubious fake mozzarella stuff.
Wells, tonks if I'm every in your neighbourhood, I'll be sure and try the ricotta/jalapeno mix.
Shit... mozzarella is what I was thinking of. I knew it wasn't provelone, but it was a white cheese... jack usually goes on Mexican food around here.
In any case, we don't see ricotta on pizza much here.
place i get my pizzas from uses all kindsa cool stuff... they've used ricotta before but i don't recall with what else... this is one of their current 'seasonal' pies...
CHANTERELLE PROSCIUTTO
The chanterelle is one of the world’s most popular gourmet mushrooms. It has a distinctive nut-like flavor with an apricot aroma. Enjoy chanterelle mushrooms with prosciutto and mozzarella on an olive oil, garlic sauce.
The pie in question has mozzerella on top. The sauce is a ricotta sauce mixture.
