So last night, I had chicken curry for dinner, nothing too out of the usual. Hell, for once I even cooked most of it, sans the sauce to an extent.
Yes, Nimbus actually cooked for the first time in his life, isn't that awesome!, and I actually seemed to enjoy cooking to an extent, sans cutting raw chicken (I cringe and shudder like a little baby when I hold that stuff.
However what I didn't know is my brother had added a few select secret ingredients to the sauce when I wasn't paying attention. I'm sure he didn't do it intentionally, more likely since he hates stuff being too bland (His idea and my idea of bland and spicy are as different as you could possibly think)
He had added a good amount of Ginger, some Paprika for color, and some other spices (One of which apparently was cayene pepper or something). I really didn't pay too much attention to the color, which was probably half my undoing. He did add a tiny bit of curry powder into the rice to give it a nice color. Keep in mind, we don't measure the curry powder at my house, we just well dump it in until the color looks right enough.
So, I start dishing out and eating it, and anyone who knows around here knows I love my curries, I'm almost obsessed with them.
Halfway into it, I notice something red dripping onto my tray, and then it donned on me. Needless to say I did ask him what he put in it, which was mentioned earlier, but it's the first time I've had a nosebleed from a curry like that.
But here's the thing, even pinching my nose with one hand with a tissue, I couldn't stop eating it...it was just so painfully good. I'm not even sure if a picture exists to actually express this.
So either way, have any of you here had something so spicy it made your nose bleed?
