I'm posting this in Promotions as it involves Pure Evil... which I make.
Lesson of the day- Be Specific!
The 'Kid and I had dinner at the local brew Pub. I asked the server to have the cook add "a couple"(couple = 2) drops of Pure Evil to my "shrimp and veggies in a spicy Vietnamese-style sauce over rice".
Before our food arrived, the pub owner brought my bottle of Pure Evil back, and he had "that look"... you know the one...where someone just ate something really spicy...he said he'd tasted my dinner. lol. (I'd hoped they would!) Discussion revealed the server had told the cook to add 2-3 drops, the cook put in 5 drops. "Oh S#!t! I'm in trouble!" was my comment.
And indeed I was! Everyone was watching me sweat, sniff and get woozy. The hostess, bartender, server and the head cook all came over to find out what Pure Evil was, and talk about hot stuff. Other customers stopped by to comment on my obvious distress. One acquaintance commented on my suffering as she was leaving and then came back to ask what I'd ordered as she loves spicy food and wanted to order what I'd had next time they came in.
The cook even came back a 2nd time to talk about the Pure Evil and customers who want it "as hot as you can make it". He asked to buy a bottle, but I did him one better and gifted him the bottle I carry in my purse. I made it through half the dinner, but had to take the rest home. Mixed that with a bunch of beans, rice and pork carnitas and it's STILL freakin' hot.
Next time....I will specify... 2 DROPS!
And the "acquaintance" at the pub? She'll be receiving her sample bottle of Pure Evil via her son from the track meet today.
