Went to the local fish shop this morning, and got (among other things) a
lovely thick tuna steak. Came home, marinated it in some fish sauce, soy
sauce, a crushed garlic clove, one tiny Thai red chili pepper, chopped
(believe me, one was enough!) and some chopped coriander (cilantro), then
seared in a very hot pan until just rare - maybe 2 mins on each side.
Served with some stir fried veg with more fish sauce and soy added.
Beautifully tender, full of flavour and totally delicious!

Mmmm......mercury. Yum. :-)

From irishseafood.com:

"Mr Alan Reilly, Acting Chief Executive, FSAI stated it is important
that consumers including pregnant and breastfeeding women continue to
appreciate the role and benefits of fish in a healthy diet. Everyone
should continue to eat one to two portions of fish per week including
one portion of oily fish such as salmon. “In Ireland, the consumption of
shark, swordfish, marlin and fresh tuna is relatively low. Consumption
however in relation to tuna is increasing especially in relation to
canned tuna, so we would caution pregnant and breastfeeding women as
well as young children to not exceed the consumption of two 8oz cans of
tuna per week. All other adults and young people should continue to eat
tuna and fish products as vital component of a healthy diet. This
precautionary advice purely relates to the potential impact mercury can
have on unborn, newborn and young children. Exposure during pregnancy is
considered the most critical period for methylmercury toxicity, and the
unborn child and young children are the most vulnerable to its effects
out of all groups.”"

I'm not pregnant, so one tuna steak a week isn't really a problem.

If you MIGHT want to have kids in the future, it's always worth digesting

is good.

This tuna/mercury thing is getting ridiculous. I've been eating
canned tuna all my life and haven't had my lips fall off or grown a
third foot. I don't eat tuna 3-5 times a week like the Minimata's
probably do, but I grew up on tuna fish sandwiches and casseroles.
I'm healthy, my kids are healthy, and my grandkids are healthy, tuna
eaters all. Eating a few onces tuna once or twice a month is just not
going to make any difference.

OTOH, I rarely eat anything from the SF Bay. Heavy mercury pollution.

I'm currently working to upping my capcicum tolerance by eating a
single thai chile every few days. So far, so good. A nice piece of
cheese handles the occasional heat/pain spike till I get there.

Everyone, eat your hot peppers!

I think you already eat too much, if your earlier soup suggestion is any
indication. 🙂

What a pansy, that researcher!

"But it's still too early to reach for the chili sauce, Koeffler said. "I am
not recommending that people increase their consumption of peppers," he
said. "Our calculation is that you would have to eat 10 habanera peppers
three times a week, which would be equivalent to the amount of capsaicin we
gave to the mice."

30 peppers a week - no problem.

I wonder what the equivalent of that expressed in vindaloos would be?
Had one the night before last, and have had the craving for more ever
since. Unfortunately, I'm now in the wrong country to indulge unless I
make my own, and as I've lost the central spindle for the food processor
it will be something of a mammoth effort, which will have to wait until
after Paddy's Day. Damn.

I didn't say make egg soup, I said drain off the broth part and use the
solids in an omelet. <G>

I confess to having actually done that rather than freeze or waste
chicken or seafood soup. I freeze the broth by itself, or make a
reduction sauce for other dishes. Running "soup" thru a screen strainer
over a bowl works nicely.

There is more than one way to use up "soup" if you make too much of
it.......

And remove the, uh, "adult" connotation of tuna taco.
I've made fish tacos using picante sauce as the main condiment and they
are damned good!

You, sir, are a goofball! ;-D
That's what I love about you........

Meh.

Just dry them and put them in capsules...

You can actually _buy_ cayanne capsules at the health food store in the
herbal supplements section. ;-) Cinnamon and ginger too.
