Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 18, 2019

The chef is an arsonist!

@Number Three Today’s strip is not even slightly funny besides the extra panels and Andy being sober , our Hero Mr Andrew Capp looks stupid getting burned with trying out a badly made curry :o{ my avatar is of by Birth sign “Leo” smoking which reminds me that I have stopped smoking or wanting to a cigarette for nearly 2 years now , welcome back and how was your day? ours should be busy , with our sons probably visiting , but not hectic I hope, have fun and thanks for caring pal

Umm well if you have never eaten a curry then I guess you wouldn’t understand. 25 chillis instead of 25 grams of chilli powder will make a heated difference to any curry, so I don’t blame Capp at all.

There will definitely be some people who would enjoy it that hot. Not many but some.

He wouldn’t make it from scratch – micro waved ready meal anyone?

Will this make him go back to Flo?

Carolina reaper, Trinidad scorpion….or a nice Ghost pepper….. ;^))

I once tried to make Gapaschio soup. Made one “small” mistake. Instead of 2 medium cloves of garlic, I put in 2 entire garlics! When my son and I realized the mistake we calculated how much of everything else it would take to “fix” it we just threw it out. Wife did try some. Happy to report no vampires in the entire county for a month!

Either the chef didn’t taste his own speciality or his mouth is entirely impenetrable.

While cooking a pot of beans and rice once, I wasn’t paying attention and put in a couple of tablespoons of an atomic chili sauce instead of a few drops. The pot was inedibly hot. I split it into 2 batches, tried to dilute with more rice but no dice. Ended up tossing the whole mess.

I read recently that those who eat hot peppers daily live 14% longer than those who don’t. Their test sample included over 6,000 people.

Drat! We almost saw Andy’s eyes…

Stephan Curry made an appearance?Didn’t think they followed basketball across the pond ;)

Stupid metric system, screws ya every time.

A little bit of spicy curry makes the ale go down.

Reminds me of my mom’s chili!

Think this warrants a FREE BEER Jack ?!!! lol

Quick Jack, he needs a pint of fire extinguisher.

One birthday of mine, the parents and I went out for Thai. The curry I ordered was VERY spicy; took more than one glass of ice water to extinguish the burning sensation.

Well, here’s a toast with milk to Wilbur Scoville…

@Number Three

I didn’t realise I was re-posting you from 7 years ago.

This might have been funnier if the last panel showed flames spewing from Any’s mouth.

25 grams, not 25 kilograms. Oh well, what’s one tiny decimal point?

It will take a lot of beers to chase that down. :-)

I love spicy curry!

A date once took me to a Thai restaurant. We both ordered fairly hot dishes: mine had whole red dried peppers in it. Foolish fellow dared me to eat a whole pepper, not realizing I’d been quite used to Indian-grade hot most of my life. When I called his bluff and chomped up the pepper with no ill effects, he got an “oh, sh*t” look on his face, but he manfully :-) took a pepper and popped it in into his mouth. Chewed. Eyes bugged out and I swear I saw smoke coming out of his ears. He glugged a glass of water to no avail. Fled to the bathroom.

Andy will recover—eventually.

Andy needs an ice cold beer. Quick!

@Afficionado

Do you like curries? I love them but it’s been too hot to have them lately because of the warm weather.

Your “ditch the cigarette” anniversary is getting nearer and nearer!

Have a great week ahead, pal.

@Fan o’ Lio

What a wonderful trip down memory lane!

I’d guess Jack sack the chef! lol!
