Looking for some inspiration, my wife's out of town this week babysitting he grandmother with dementia, so she's been eating a lot of very bland, old-white-lady-palate-approved meals (her grandmother once described some jarred vodka sauce as being "too spicy")

We're both pretty adventurous eaters and spice-lovers, and I know it's driving her mad by now, so I figured I'd welcome her home in a couple days with a dinner full of all the biggest flavor bombs I can find

Help me light her taste buds on fire, decimated my spice cabinet, and make my toilet tremble in fear of what is to come.

There's a world of spicy flavour out there! Try these:

Jamaican Curry Goat - you can substitute lamb or even go curry chicken instead. If you're cooking Jamaican, try and get hold of Scotch Bonnet chillies, they bring a different flavour!

Ghanaian Peanut Stew - if you're cooking West African food, be sure to try some Jollof Rice.

Goan Pork Vindaloo - this is the vinegar-based Goan original rather than the British Indian version.

Sichuan 'Dan Dan' noodles - try and get some proper Sichuan peppercorns if you can!
