Because chocolate and spicy are great together! Just like chocolate and a lot of other things. But I can understand if you weren't into spicy, that it wouldn't be your thing.
We're a vegetarian/vegan household so we tend to cook a lot of stuff from scratch anyway, but it's certainly worth the effort.
I've had it, and it's not that it's spicy. It isn't. It's more that it adds a piquant tang to it that is actually quite nice.
I love oranges and fresh orange juice, but I hate anything with artificial orange flavor. Do they still make that frozen orange juice concentrate that you thaw into slush, then mix with three cans of water? That's what I usually drank with breakfast when I was growing up. It tasted vaguely like orange juice.
I’m started putting my curry powder on my pasta and my sausages. Most of the stuff I eat at home now I toss huge amounts of spices on. I like the oregano, paprika, coriander, cumin, cardamom combination a lot. And curry powder blends well with turmeric, sage and coriander.
This kind of reminds me of the original Roswell High novels, one of the "weird alien things" the alien characters did was always combine sweet things with spicy things, so they'd put hot sauce on cake or things like that. I'm not sure about orange juice specifically, but I still see some frozen juice concentrates in the freezer isles at the grocery stores.
I like German curry ketchup. There's a common fast food dish there called currywurst, which is a sausage with the curry ketchup and a portion of fries. I don't like 'regular' tomato ketchup, though. Kor
Yup, it's good. Curry is also surprisingly good with sauerkraut. Chili chocolate has been mentioned. I love it, because just a piece or two satisfies my chocolate craving, and the chili means I don't want to eat the whole bar or slab in one go. I like salted popcorn, but the only sweet popcorn I like is chocolate flavor. I really can't stand the candied stuff. Jello is gross. Empty calories and no nourishment at all...
