Would you say it is like swigging a bottle of liquid earwax?  :-P

Or maybe chewing a sock?

Veggie mince. Tried, tested and proven!

But I eat meals that are so spicy that most of you wouldn't be able to take a spoonful without finding it hard to breathe (well, except Karlos ). Maybe that's the secret.

I think maybe the first time you fully eat something insanely hot, it simply shorts out the nerve endings that relay any sensations from the ailementary canal.

After that you can eat cement and be fine :lol:

The old pacific rim? Ring of fire?

Sometimes - but to be honest I find it usually isn't caused by things high in chilli content :-/

It's also really strange that I find some things hot that other people don't and yet basic highly spiced foods don't bother me in the least. Furthermore, I seem to be able to enjoy subtle tastes which tends to dispell the idea that spice abuse kills the tongue ;-)

Do you live anywhere near the Oxford Road?
I remember getting a few curries from the 'curry mile' when I was a student there ('97-'98)

That's Wilmslow Road. Oxford Road technically stopped somewhere between St Mary's and the old Jaguar showroom (no longer there, unfortunately).

I used to live near there, now I'm a bit further away. So, you were a student the same time I was also studying there :-D

I do have some allergy to ginger and turmeric that causes rather nasty stomach upsets but thats about it. As long as I avoid any large quantities of those I'm fine.

Veggie mince is strange stuff. It doesn't bother me, but it sure as hell disagrees with anybody forced to share the same few cubic metres of atmopshere with me for any length of time later :lol:

Perhaps if it had been smarter it wouldn't have ended up as a sausage?

The only difference between these particular examples of "hippy greeny" remedies and pills you can get from your pharmacist are the level of refinement. I bet you would have laughed at people chewing willow bark for their headaches before aspirin was isolated :-)

I found the best way to get rid of the taste of aloe vera is to make a chaser from the freshly squeezed pus of a septic cat...

Aloe Vera has some wonderful properties and is used quite a lot nowadays and for different stuff not only digestive health.

Drinking it has to be worst way of using it I will concur. :shocked:

I found handwash containing aloe vera tasted slightly better than taking it neat :lol:





*2008 stupidity liability disclaimer: Don't drink handwash.

@Speel

There exists no 'if'.

Imagine how much more linear code would be if that were only true.
