You're taking this too far!

Over the last year, I have seen my little "boom" of Chinese style chili oil filled with pieces of chopped garlic, red peppers and other yummy stuff grow to a national boom and had to live through a nationwide shortage of the stuff. (see my other posts on the subject here)

Now, I'm not shy on using the stuff and am willing to try and pour it over most edible things (often to Mrs. Sunshine's annoyance as she believes that I'm ruining the flavours of her cooking, while I argue that I am enhancing it), but this latest thing I just saw is pushing the boundaries...

It's basically a baguette style bread, filled with bacon and cheese (so far ok) but now they also decided that it's a good idea to bake in this Chili Oil mix into the bread... Maybe it's just me being European and having a different relationship to bread and all, but to me, this is pushing things way too far...

sounds delish. Then again, I like most things that Japanese people do to bread. Curry bread, green tea bread, ankopan, chocobread, strawberry bread, herb bread, pizza bread... There's a shop in my area that makes bread with bits of fruit in it. If you want, they toast it in the store for you. :D I hear it's rude to eat as you're walking but it's so convenient to do so... I have not tried yakisoba bread. Is it good?

Did you know that googling "Salaryman blog", your site is #1?

Squeeze a big glob of mayo on that heart attack and I'm in!!!

Looks good. I'd probably skip the mayo though.

We still have that jar the you left in our house, and it is still (mostly) untouched - we haven't dared to try it...

Anonymous - Fruit I can live with, but spicy bread? I dunno and I love the stuff on most things... Yakisoba bread I can eat but try to avoid...

Chris - Well, it can't really make it worse at least...

David - I dunno about this...

Big Bro - You really should try it, works wonders together with Gyoza for instance!
