JOKE: NEW MEXICO CHILI COOK OFF

[Aemilius Paulus]

thats the tequila young man. and the poor water. though im sure peppers fit in their somewhere.

The alcohol consumption does not even come close to correlating with the incidences of the liver-related maladies.

in southern mexico where my uncle is from they frequently mix in tequila into their water. while they do not do so to drink the tequila per say, it is still alcohol and often moonshined alcohol, not jose cabenero (sp?)

It's to purify the water so they don't get sick.

The first time I saw this joke written up it was about a chilly cook off in Austin. That was years and years ago...

To some of you who don’t know, cayenne pepper is beneficial, even a health food of sorts. Chilies and peppers are not going to kill you.

If you don’t eat a lot of spicy foods you may think you are going to die, but it will pass.

You also build up a tolerance for it in your body so someone may not think that their food is very hot and the next guy may think he is being poisoned.

For those who have some tolerance though the peppers have a very flavor enhancing effect and you taste many subtleties in the sauce.

Also I find the warming and even a tiny bit of the sweating effect very pleasant.

I isn’t that those who like hot food are being macho, it is just that you are a wuss if you can’t take it.

The term you are looking for is pedantic. And yes his posts often contain overtones of such a maddening writing style that can become quite bothersome. However, his posts, beneath all the slurs against fellow members and overly flowery language there is often a nugget of truth or logic. So I deal with the affronts to my intellect and at least give the dear boy a cursory glance.
