cardamom question Shelly

[Guest guest]

I love anything and everything spicy. The heats you listed are much

different than chili heat so I can understand why you can handle one

but not the other. Too much wasabi makes you feel like your face is

going to blow right off your head but then it's over in like 2

seconds and you can eat more!!

the cardamom pod, it will be hot. Remove or set aside on the plate

get enough of are cardamom, horseradish, wasabi, Chinese hot mustard

and ginger in large doses. Now the chili peppers aren't for me.
