What is the spiciest food you have ever eaten?
Friday at 10:37 pm
Without a doubt it is the habanero pepper. It has a nice after shock when the oil from the pepper rolls down your throat. It is an absolute gotta try it!

I was just in Sichuan recently, and Chengdu did not disappoint on the spicy side. 干面 and 但但面 were two cheap and delicious noodle options.
Interesting note: The peppers locally grown in sichuan 辣椒 were actually banned in the U.S until 2004 I believe.

I had a subscription to Cooking Light magazine once and in one issue they had some recipes from Emeril Legasse. I thought my head was going to come off but I kept the seasoning mix recipe because it makes great chicken nuggets.
I also like Sichuan and Hunan, and India style recipes from a cookbook I bought to find more ways to cook vegetables. Okra supreme and fried potatoes with mixed spiced greens I make all the time now, especially with fresh veg from the garden.

just wanted to point out that the last line of the podcast ” ye fei chang hao chi”, “also very tasty” is translated into “my mouth feels numb” in the pdf file:(

Hi Phoenix_darshan,
Here you are again. I can not explain to you why “my mouth feels numb” jumped out there. But I have fixed it. Many thanks. Please let me know if there is any other problem.
Best,
Jane

ni hao.
this post is utterly unrelated to the lesson, but i had a near argument with two chinese coming from taiwan about the word for blood, even though it sez “xue” (4th tone) in all books and dictionaries they insisted that it was pronounced “xie” third tone. could someone please clear this up for me as I m getting a bit confused?
thanks in advance

Hi phoenixdarshan,
Unfortunately, both your friends and you are wrong I am afraid. 血 in fact has two pronunciations xie3 and xue4. When it is read xue4, it mainly used in written language and in combinations with other characters such as 血液,血糖,血管。When it is read xie3, it is often used in spoken language and used on its own or in combination with other verbs to form verb phrases, such as 流血,献血,吐了一口血 etc.
This is a very good question, even a lot of Chinese people are confused about it. Thanks for asking.
Best,
Jane
