Where are you Burittoing? Boojum is the King of all Burittos. Burrittos & Blues is to be avoided like the plague.
ChocolateMice:Imagine, you had to explain that…there was a time when a jalapeño would have sent me packing but you build up a tolerance. I’d handle a vindaloo handy enough these days…
I had a Vindaloo Sunday evening. Handled it fairly well. Some mild dampness on the brow but was generally fine.
Also @farmerinthecity a nice cold beer is far superior to water for cooling you down when eating spicy food. In fact water is often said to be one of the worst things you could drink as all it does is transfer the heat around the body.The Indians would have a yogurt based dessert/snack afterwards to dampen down the flames.
Remember the days we could just click a button to say that you found a post informative.
Anyway, informative rating.
Very knowledgeable as always, mate.
Can you inform me of the best place to buy red grapes in Dublin?
Sorry mate, I wouldn’t be overly familiar with the Dublin grape scene.
Back in 06 there was a lovely little fruit and veg shop on Wexford St, if it still exists I reckon you’d get good grapes there.
Horsebox: Julio_Geordio:Had a burrito last night. Serious dose of burrito belly this morning.
Well worth it. Flavour that spice gives is unreal. Only when done right though. Some spicy stuff just burns at the front with no flavour at the back.I’m starting to go off burritos. Everyone I’ve had lately, the quality of meat is shocking. Cubed meat-it’s like fucking dog food. Is there anywhere in Dublin that does proper chicken or steak?

Yeah the last couple of times has been Burritos & Blues, bud. It is fairly rank and I wont be back. Had Boojum for the first time about a month ago. Didn’t see what all the fuss was about to be honest. Maybe I just don’t like Mexican food as much as I think.

Incorrect mate. You definitely do.

That’s your problem mate, Blues is significantly shitter than the alternatives.
Little Ass on Dawson street is decent as well as is Pablo Picante though a bit hit and miss.
As an aside have we reached peak Burritto in Dublin. 3 places on Camden street alone

P.S. next time you are in Boojum ask for half and half Chicken & Chorizo. OMFG
Informative rating.
Is Little Ass the place a couple of doors up from Pink? Big queue outside there when I passed at lunchtime.

It’s on Dawson Street if that’s where pink is.
The Jalapeno was just used as a yard stick for when I was beginning… I usually lash extra hot piri piri on everything, I couldn’t live without some form of spice.
when I came to England as a roaster, a tikka masala was about as hot as I could go, it takes time to build up to it, now I’d regular have a vindaloo
I had a couple of vindaloos and didn’t care for them, didn’t think they were all that flavourful and thought they were rather bland.
I had a lovely lamb Garlic Chilli curry in Mem Saab last week, a real nice kick to it but some massive flavours too. Had the tandoori Ostrich for starters. Food was nice but was disappointed to see that they had beef on the menu

I love an auld Jalafrezi, you can ask them to make it as hot as you want really, they are sound like that when they get to know you
Depends on the place. A good vindaloo is gorgeous, really good flavour going along with the heat. In shit curry houses where they’re just catering to lads after a feed of lager they just fuck a load of hot chillies in and try to blow your arse off.
As opposed to regualr indian restaurants who just ignore your wishes is it?

they look at a white lad after a few pint and they give him the regular tack, no matter what, he wouldn’t know the difference
The Indians are a deeply complex and cultured people, pal.
Had a lovely Indian takeaway out of Bombay Pantry in Fairview there last night. Lovely mix of small dishes from the very hot and spicy to the mild and spicy. A very complex array of spiciness was on offer.
Lads I cannot recommend tadhka house highly enough. Think its in Rathgar but only ever got deliveries. Best Indian in Dublin. FACT
