Greedo said:Having lunch with a mate who I like to wind up and takes the bait very easily.
He orders a chilli burger. Sitting having a beer waiting and then the waitress brings our food.
He has a normal burger in a bun with a spoonful of chilli poured over it.
I say to him. That's not a chilli burger, she's given you the wrong thing.
He says no I've had it in here before and it was the same thing.
I say. No that's a burger with chilli poured over it. A chilli burger is made from chilli con carne made into a burger shape. The menu said chilli burger and they've just given you a normal burger with chilli poured over it. That's shocking!
He thinks about it and after a min he says you're right and calls the waitress over.
Q 5 mins of discussion between him, the waitress and the manager about what and what is not a chilli burger. In the meantime I'm sitting eating my lunch unable to look at any of them for laughing and tears streaming down my face. When they walk away my mate see's my face and just say's "you pr*ck"
I am right though. A burger with chilli poured over is not a chilli burger
Discuss!!!

I tend to avoid anything 'chilli' when I'm out, due to the macho tendency to make it very hot - at least with curry, you can opt for a milder version and know what to expect.
marzjennings said:Sorry you're wrong, like way off. A chili burger is a good ol' meat burger with chili over the top, not a burger made from burger shaped chili. Think chili dog. Don't mess with the burger. Now a sloppy joe, would be close to a burger made form chili.

Debian said:You're confusing chilli with chilli con carne. A chilli is a fruiting body, chilli con carne is the meat + red kidney beans dish.
A chilli burger would not be a burger shaped offering of chilli con carne but a [beef]burger flavoured with chilli.
No, no, what Arch was referrring to is the piss-head tendency to think that their mates will be impressed if they eat something so spicy that their ears will ring, ring will sting etc etc etc etc. Witness for example the so called Phaal and Tindaloo curries. Yes chillis are hot, but they also impart a wonderful flavour if used in the right amounts. Having it so hot it sets fire to your rectum on the way out IS macho bullshit.Debian said:Why is it a "macho" tendency? Chillis are hot things and the expectation would be that anything made with chillis as an ingredient would be hot to a greater or lesser extent. That doesn't make it "macho" in the derogatory sense that you refer to it by.

OK OK I take the mild reproof upon myself, seeing as I have indeed - in my youth - probably 'shown off' by choosing a hot hot hot curry. But I'm older and maybe wiser now. I still like to - occasionally - have an extra-hot taster because I enjoy the 'buzz' it gives me. A sort of feelgood. Perhaps it's my version of the 'legal high', I don't know, it's certainly legal and not addictive and not - as far as I know - harmful unless indulged in too often. Correct me if I'm wrong here.Arch said:Thank you, that's pretty much what I meant....Thinking about it, the people I know who choose hot curries are all men - although very few of them are 'macho'. I can't think of a female friend who goes for hot stuff....
