TRACY: Oh, uh, yeah sure, shrooms and strips, no problem sir.
TODD: Thank you.
TODD: ...Make it two mushrooms. And some jalapeno poppers for the hooligans.
THEO: Hooligans, he says! Thought I taught you to respect your elders, boy.
Your punishment is that I get your poppers.
TODD: Thank you, Father. May I have another?
AMANDA: Should... should I try one of those “holly pen yo” poppers?

jalapeno poppers with ghost sauce and habanero cream cheese filling. Bliss.
When my son was about 5, We had accidentally bought some Buffalo seasoned frozen chicken tenders by mistake. We were going to return them but my brother in law came over with his kids and made them for a lunch. After they were cooked, my bro-in-law asked my kiddo if he wanted a chicken tender, didn’t tell him it was spicy. He bit right into it thinking it was a normal tender, only for his eyes to pop open, drop the tender and rushed to the sink to gulp down water. We then gave him a glass of milk and asked if he liked it. Yeah, he hasn’t liked spicy food since but then neither have I.
given her like of “bitey” orange Juice… She will probably LIKE Spicy… even stupidly spicy (the sister who was looking for 500k Scoville units. That’s hot even for ME and I order the Thermonuclear wings from Cluck U chicken (the ones you have to sign a waiver and the cook has to wear a face shield with respirator) anything over about 300k and you aren’t getting any real flavor just burning.
As someone who is a connoisseur of scorpion and reaper pepper sauces, I can assure you that there is definitely still flavor even in the seven-digit scoville range!
The trick is that you need to be using a sauce made from actual peppers, not just capsaicin pepper extracts, because yeah… no flavor in = no flavor out.
having eaten raw scorpion peppers and reapers. No there no flavor there (even roasting them ) Even using them in a sweet pineapple mango chutney (and I FUCKING HATE MANGO!) they dont have any flavor to me just burning.
Poppers are hardly spicy, especially if it’s cream cheese ones, which is the only way to eat them. You give me cheddar cheese poppers and I’ll slap them outta yer hands.
Most of the spice is from the seeds. So I make sure to leave a few in while I’m gutting and cleaning my jalapenos.
American, and not that Craft crap. (Henceforth: Crapt)
Or a bit of cheddar and meat.
Cream cheese is vial
Not to be That Guy, but the seeds have almost zero spice. The fibrous material that holds the seeds in place, however…
Capsaicin, the chemical that gives chiles their heat, is concentrated around the seeds and in the ribs. The flesh of the chile that is closer to the seeds will be hotter than the flesh near the tip. … If you want more heat, just add back some seeds with the rest of the jalapeño.
Meh, most places jalepeno poppers are WEAK. This place might have some kick, but pretty sure Amanda can handle it.
Agreed. The only hot part of a jalapeño popper is the temperature portion when that hot cheese and grease hits your tongue right out of the oven and then dribbles all over your face if you get an awkward bite. Still damned tasty, though, especially wrapped in bacon!
OMG, I have never seen them wrapped in bacon, … is that a real thing? I need this to be a real thing.
PS, I’m sooooo old that I remember going to restaurants and sitting in them, — indoors, — without masks. And passing plates around so everyone could try yours too! It may be stuff of history books, but it did happen, when I was a kid. I remember Super Bowl parties with 60 or 70 people, together, in the same house! In the same house!! Of course, I also remember landlines…When MaBell was the only phone company for most of the USA.
Oh, you kid! I remember Kezar Stadium in San Francisco during the Yelberton Abraham Tittle days, and riding side-wheel ferries across San Francisco Bay, and Key System electrics across the Bay Bridge,. . . But, however, I remember later (back to the thread subject) some most outstandingly-flavo{u}rful Pakistani/North Indian food about a fifteen public transit ride from home, the vindaloo of which was enticingly zingy, and just hot enough to make me sweat but not so hot as to make me cry. (My son in his teens dubbed the proprietor “Doctor Tasty”.)
I remember when sharables were called “appetizer” and, in a pinch, you could make a cheap meal from them. Now they cost as much as a sandwich.
Sigh. I hated history as a kid, and now that I get to see so much of it, I find it wearying. It beats the alternative, but my gosh, what a lot of ch-ch-ch-Turn and face the change! (But I can’t change time.)
yes its a real thing. a deliciously real thing.
Habanero poppers.
You had my curiosity but now you have my attention.
Concept sounds good, don’t think I’d care for the reality. Habaneros I just don’t care for the flavor. The heat is typically about where I like it, not sure how would mix with cheese.
No Amanda, don’t! ITS A TRAP!
Run away!!!!!
Once my Uncle was being funny and stealing food off my plate. So I dared him to try the wasabi. He laughed and plopped a quarter size blob into his mouth. 😈 Teach him to eat my sushi
Meanwhile, my 8 month old prefers the spicy things I cook over much of the jarred baby food (I end up adding spices to it for her). Her only negative experience so far was when she was…hmm…4 or 5 months? And she had a bit of sriracha off my mashed potatoes, so I gave her another bite, inadvertently giving her some that was more sriracha and less potato. That first bite she loved. The second? Not so much. Her poor face turned so red. I’ve tried to gently discourage her from trying my Thai food the once or twice I’ve had Thai around her.
Derp, meant to reply to HoboJoen. Oh well!
We took the kids out to an Indian buffet when my youngest was just under a year old. The waiter was horrified that I was letting her taste everything and begged me not to give her the spicier dishes. I told him it was fine and let him watch as she tasted and then demanded more of the spiciest. Eventually the entire kitchen staff came out to see the little caucasian baby girl who was gobbling down the hottest offerings and clapping her hands in glee.
The chef was so amused he gave both the kids free desserts not on the menu that he made especially for them.
Can someone please explain the “thank you [father], may I have another” like I’ve seen it around and I know its a reference or joke but I don’t get it
Full Metal Jacked is about a sadistic drill Sargent abusing his charges.
In context, it was the smuggest, most condescending thing the new recruiters could say to him when he abused them.
GREAT movie, but very stressful.
It’s a reference to Animal House; a fraternity pledge is being hazed and he responds with the line after each blow with a paddle.
I meant to include a link to a clip.

It’s something I picked up from Basic Training (although as others have said, it’s also a various media reference). Basically, in response to being punished in some capacity, rather than the expected response the receiver of punishment says, “Thank you, may I have another?” to be smug about it.
The sisterly camaraderie shown in that last panel warms my heart. Looking at them in the beginning, and then now, it’s a night and day difference.
I wonder what the spicy equivalent would be for a carnivore. Maybe Selkie can eat puffer fish with all the poisonous bits still in to give it a bit of a kick.
Cheam creese filling! D:
If my poppers don’t have cheddar (or similar), I’d rather have none!
Reminds me of a time when I was a kid and accidently put hot sauce on my fries instead of ketchup. XD
I can top that! Two weeks ago I was in IHOP and put hot sauce on hy hotcakes. In my defense, the two were in the same black plastic cups — no syrup bottles these days.
Huh, I have a question, Dave. Do Sarnothi taste “spicy”? Most non mammals don’t as they lack the receptors capsaicin binds to.
I can tell you that muloscs seem to avoid it as its used in bottom paint
Amanda. Amanda. You just saw your friend puke after taking Selkie’s culinary advice. Are you sure you want to ask her about food?
