Farber's Laws

1. Give him an inch and he'll screw you.
2. A hand in the bush is worth two anywhere else.
3. We're all going down the same road in different directions.
4. Necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows.

More Habaneros

More Habaneros, as requested by some people. No videos - I did not have time to make them - and I realized I would also end up feeling really stupid making a video.
So here they are.

The ideal Habanero combination

What the habanero burger is - Bun, patty with the habanero sauce, lettuce leaf, onion, pickled cucumber slice, with a side of corn chips and ketchup.

The spicy bit is the red paste on the patty; and as can be seen, there is absolutely no cheese - the idea being to keep it as least greasy as possible, to heighten the spicy effect to the maximum extent.

What you also see in the picture is a friend of mine, having ordered two, just about to have his first bite. And you can also see his weapons against the hot burger - a glass of Guinness (I think) and a bottle of chilled water. Also seen is the orange habanero bumper sticker you get when you eat one of them - actually, you can see two of them. An ice-cream sandwich completes the picture - though that is later.

This friend of mine - also had a total of 11 habaneros that week, for a competition among companies - to see which company would eat the maximum number of habaneros.
Myself, I had just five. Not that I could not, but just because they were too expensive as a dinner.

This was on a day when 17 of us from the company went to torture ourselves in the ritual of the habanero.

We downed 24 habaneros that day.
