The Angry Whopper at Burger King disappointed me. Despite the hilarious commercial, it wasn't all that spicy. I don't know if it was a lifetime of spicy soup and hot sauce that's killed my tongue, or plain old corporate inefficiency, but it just doesn't seem all that angry to me. Hell, I wouldn't even put it as 'Mildly Irritated, And Just Stepped Into A Pile of Dog Poo'. I'd put it as a 'Tingly' Whopper, and that's not all that marketable.
(Keep your Wendy's/vegetarian/'cook-for-yourself' comments to yourselves. I knew what I was getting into).
So, I was thinking, "There's no place in this world for a spice lover", when my sister and her boyfriend visited on Monday. Mom had made a great soup for all of us, but I messed it up a bit--I poured in a little more pepper when she wasn't looking. It didn't have an effect on me, but my sister's boyfriend (as well as my mother and sister) were sweating bullets from it. They weren't too surprised when I fessed up.
This reminded my sister's boyfriend of my Dad--he's always over-doing condiments. Too much salt is in his diet, basically. But, he also puts a lot of pepper in his burgers. I figured, "Hey, that might be cool..."
I should have known better than to follow my old man's example.
I go to Burger King and get a Double Texas Whopper (dunno what they're called in the U.S.--we call 'em 'Texans' here in Puerto Rico). So, I take two packets of pepper and pour 'em in the burger. I register a suggestion of pepper in my mouth when I take a bite...but no spice.
Meh. The world needs more hot sauce...I bet my spleen Wendy's will start carrying Tabasco packets any day now.
