  • Think I've (re)invented the next popular drug!

    Chilli Chocolate.

    I know it's existed for ages, but all the chilli chocolate I've tried before has been a tad nasty tasting and in no-way properly spicy.

    During my 'http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/grapevine/season-taste/making-my-own-crunchies_41462.html' experiments I added a couple of home-grow chillies to some molten chocolate and formed it into a bar. I inadvertently added way too much chilli (including the seeds). However, I've found that eating it is almost euphoric!

    After all, the body's response to the capsaicinoids in chilli is to raise the heart rate, increase perspiration and release endorphins. Endorphins are natural pain relievers and give a feeling of well-being.
    Chocolate contains its own chemicals including theobromine which is a mild stimulant (so much so that feeding chocolate to racehorses is banned!).
    So while I eat this georgous re-invention I'm actually getting high!

      Sorry, what does "georgous" mean? Pertaining to some person called George perhaps?
      There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't.

        Maybe it was phonetic and he's slurring already? Wonder if there'll be a hangover?

            You'd be better watching out for the drug squad. Did it have any side effects?

                  Ah, I missread the quote I was reading. I read it as "Theobromine is more potent in horses and is prohibited in horse racing" because it's a stimulant, not "...is prohibited in horse racing" because horses cannot metabolize the chemical.

                  Thanks for the link though. It gives even more details of why chocolate is a drug!

                    In fact ollie, you can kill a dog with a bar of 70% Green and Blacks, it'd take a little more for a horse though

                      Chocolate is banned in horse-racing because of it being a stimulant, not because it kills the horse... Although that's also a bad thing You would be disquaified from a race and also probably banned 'from Newmarket Heath' (ie racing) if your horse tests positive for theobromine.

                        In fact Ollie if you are trying to nobble a race it's safer to leave the favourite without water for a day then give it a bucket of water just prior to saddling up...
