Japan Jambo Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 On 30/07/2019 at 17:07, Carl Fredrickson said: Is this it? These are notes from an inexperienced chilli taster named FRANK, who was visiting Texas from New Jersey and fell into it "Recently I was lucky enough to be the 10,000th attendee at the State Fair in Texas, and was asked to fill in to be a judge at a chilli cook-off. Apparently the original judge #3 called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that it would be a fun event and a true taste of Texas hospitality. They assured me that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted. Here are the scorecards from the event Chilli # 1 Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chilli JUDGE ONE A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick. JUDGE TWO Nice, smooth tomato flavour. Very mild. FRANK Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it. Took me two beers to put the flames out. Hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. Chilli # 2 Arthur's Afterburner Chilli JUDGE ONE Smoky with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang. JUDGE TWO Exciting BBQ flavour, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. FRANK Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich manoeuvre. They had to walkie-talkie in 3 extra beers when they saw the look on my face. Chilli # 3 Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili JUDGE ONE Excellent firehouse chilli! Great kick. Needs more beans. JUDGE TWO A beanless chilli, a bit salty, good use of red peppers. FRANK Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced. Chilli # 4 Bubba's Black Magic JUDGE ONE Black bean chilli with almost no spice. Disappointing. JUDGE TWO Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chilli. FRANK I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Sally, the bar maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300lb. bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I'm eating. Chilli # 5 Linda's Legal Lip Remover JUDGE ONE Meaty, strong chilli. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. JUDGE TWO Chilli using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. FRANK My ears are ringing, and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chilli had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks! Chilli # 6 Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety JUDGE ONE Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chilli. Good balance of spice and peppers. JUDGE TWO The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb. FRANK My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulphuric flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone! Chilli # 7 Susan's Screaming Sensation Chilli JUDGE ONE A mediocre chilli with too much reliance on canned peppers. JUDGE TWO Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chilli peppers at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about Judge number 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably. FRANK You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing. I've lost the sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chilli which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like sh!t to match my damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4 inch hole in my stomach. Chilli # 8 Helen's Mount Saint Chilli JUDGE ONE A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chilli, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. JUDGE TWO This final entry is a good, balanced chilli, neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed out, fell and pulled the chilli pot on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor Yank. FRANK ------ (editor's note Judge #3 was unable to report) 🤣🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the Salt and Vinegar fish and chips that I see now. I know they're the original flavour but I remember a few years ago they had 6 different flavours at one point. The curry ones were lovely. Pickled onion and ketchup ones were both alright. Brown sauce and the chicken and chips were bowfing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's have no more of the Golden Wonder nonsense clogging it up. Had some Salty Dog crisps the other night, not bad. Not as good as genuine salted dog, which I've eaten a couple of times in the past. 🐶 I agree. I’m just having a wee and gentle dig at James! 😎 I’m not what one would call a big crisp eater, but, we were in Edinburgh two weeks ago and had Sea salt and Chardonnay ones from Scotmid, which were mouth-drawlingly sharp and bloody good. Also, Tesco did a couple of cracking bags at a pound a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
