 ML>>> Title: Evil Jungle Prince with Chicken (Or Mixed Vegetables)
 ML>> It's a respectable enough dish, though I never order it.
 NB>> My son likes it enough to usually have that for his choice when
 NB>> we've eaten out together... 
 ML> For me it's nowhere near spicy enough, because the abundance
 ML> of vegetables soaks up all the heat. 

I'd guess that how spicy it actually starts out being has an effect on
how spicy it ends up after the veggies and all..  :)  I've had some
rather mild (comparison-wise) Evil Jungle Prince, and some much spicier
ones, depending...  Also, of course, depends on what one's tolerance
level is...  ;)

 ML> Of course, I had one vegetable dish all week (aside from a
 ML> couple bites of slaw and such) - a corn casserole that was so
 ML> delicious I had almost a pound of it in two goes. One of my
 ML> colleagues reports that the recipe is approximately half
 ML> butter and half chipotle mayonnaise, the starch apparently
 ML> being merely incidental. 

So, hardly counting as a veggie at all, then... (G)   It does sound
quite delicious, though...  :)

 ML> That was at Stiles Switch, where they didn't
 ML> take as much care with our 50-person party as they ought,
 ML> and the brisket was not up to par.
 
So the only bright spot was the corn casserole...  The full report on
the bbq trip is eagerly awaited...  :)

 ML>> recipe would be 200-300 - I originally read that recipe as having
 ML>> a pound of main ingredient, but it's 1/2 lb meat OR 1/2 lb of
 ML>> vegetables, so the servings are very tiny, and if the peppers are
 ML>> bird peppers or at least of a substantial heat, the dish might be
 ML>> spicy enough as is. I'd do the 10 peppers anyway.
 NB>> After all, one is probably eating it on or at least with rice.. ;)
 ML> For sake of estimation I count on 50% rice and 50% yums, but
 ML> on my own plate it's generally something like 20% rice only,
 ML> and if I have other starchy food, such as beer, often none.

So yours would be thereby of a higher heat, having been less diluted by
the "extras"...  :)

 ML> An amusing dish, better with some velveted chicken:
 ML> Title: Crackling Rice Vegetable Soup

It does seem like an interesting dish...  as you say, amusing even...
I can see how the chicken would improve it...  :)  I'm not totally sure
just what velveted chicken is exactly, though...

ttyl       neb

... I never thought I would become a Luddite but I don't want to Tweet.
