Guest Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 HELP!!!!!! I've put a pot of chilli on for the boys coming back from the cup final, and I've just tasted it, and I've realised that I put chilli in it TWICE! It's now blow-your-brains-off-hot, fine for me and chookiehubbie, but the boys won't touch it that spicey. Things aren't exactly going their way at the footie, please does anyone know how to de-chillify chilli, before they get home??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I know that if you eat chilli that is too hot you should eat a sugar cube rather than having a glass of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 chocolate - honestly it takes the burn out of the chilli. I'll have a scout around and get back to you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura007 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 sour cream should help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Chocolate......hmmmmmmm....lets see if I have any........ Will give it a go! Who'd have thought that the chocolate eggs would end up in chilli! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 potatoes can also soak up the heat (but hey, chocolate is more fun!) Make sure the boys drink something sweet with the chilli - that also takes the heat out - Indian food is best tempered with a yoghurty drink - so I guess chilli would be the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Potatoes are what I would have suggested too but when there's a chocolatey alternative, hey, what the heck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Managing Director Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 putting a peeled raw potato or a whole lemon in it should help as some of the chilli is drawn into them , also I'd add an extra tin of beans and tomatoes if you have them and don't even give them a hint you think it's too hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I knew that a potato would suck out salt, never thought of using that! I'll chuck one of them in too! See what happens when you spend the afternoon on the internet instead of concentrating on your motherly duties.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Too right. They know the answer - if they think its too hot, they need to cook it themselves next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Plain yogurt or sour cream. Works a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Can you add another tin of toms or some passatta - to dilute it a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I wonder how Shona got on. I hope she hasn't got a couple of fire breathing boys on her hands now and is in A&E! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 In the end, chookiehubbie took them out for pizza to celebrate, so half the chilli is in the freezer, the other half will be added to a fresh pot tomorrow, with no extra chillis added, for tea tomorrow night!

Guest Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Craig Gordon, I think - I'm a girlie, I don't really 'do' football - I rely on picking up what the boys tell me! He's Scotland goalie too, I know that much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
