That's spicy!

Mar 18, 2007 11:24

We made a "quick" trip out last night to find whole coriander seed. The logical place to get this is an Indian/Asian grocery. The place is packed, so Bill runs in while the kids and I wait in the car. He returns with the seeds, as well as a bag of Kurkure. Pepsico India (Frito-Lay division) makes these chips, and they are essentially Cheetos with Indian flavorings (ie Masala Munch) rather than cheddar cheese. They are pretty good. Bill has a bag of "Green Chutney Rajasthani Style" - think cilantro sauce for samosas. We are eating them, and they have a little bit of spice to them, but nothing crazy. Zane starts saying, "Bite. Bite." indicating that he would like one. We tell him they are spicy, but he still wants one. He takes a bite, and seems to enjoy it. Once he has swallowed, I guess he realized it is spicy. He starts making gurgling noises in the back of his throat. I look back and he looks like a dog with peanut butter - he just keeps licking. Then he opens his mouth and starts wiping his tongue. Bill and I are trying not to laugh (he doesn't appear to be in any serious pain, don't worry). He stops his futile efforts and declares, "That's SPICY!"
Bill and I just lose it.
