Chilli chilli bang bang

OK maybe we should have known it was foolish, but they looked so nice...

Breakfast in Trat - we wandered the backstreets thinking maybe to find some chilled pineapple, fresh lychees or.... hey what's THIS? A skewer of roasted green chillies - long, pale with an alluring sheen and char, not unlike the sweet chillies of Southern Spain. Occasionally you hit a hot one, but mmmm.

So with empty tums and watering mouths we bought our skewer and set to.

It took about 2 hours perhaps for the pain to settle down. Now we're OK if we don't walk too fast. Chilled papaya shakes helped. Lying down seemed essential.

Would I do it again?

Well, not for breakfast.
