Fresh Vegetables and Napalm
Posted in burn, lumpia, napalm, tongue, vegetables
Yes. Napalm.
I swear this had to be one of the wildest gustatory sensations my tongue has ever had in years. I was eating lumpiang ubod (sauteed wrapped vegetables) earlier today when I felt my mouth was on fire. It wasn't the usual spicy chili pepper burn that you get when you eat red pepper, it felt more like gargling acid. The burn was in my mouth. I then realized the lumpia was spiked with loads of chopped raw garlic. Now I usually love garlic, even raw garlic, but not in these combustively volatile amounts. I thought it had burned a hole through my tongue. Talk about a chemical burn. It just had be right up there with military-grade napalm and C4.
Scrumptious!*Note: Photo is from www.maxschicken.com, and was not the actual combustive delicacy I had consumed earlier.
