Hot-cross pizza buns seem an odd notion, but I guess I can't throw stones. Supermarkets up here haven't hit on that one yet, but they've started making hot-cross buns for every holiday, not just Easter.

Actually, I'm not sure if this is a bad idea or a stroke of genius. A new fashion is erupting in southern China. 

 

冰淇淋 (bīng qí lín) means 'ice cream' with the first character meaning 'ice'.

 

Now they're substituting  (là) instead of   (bīng) and selling 辣淇淋 (là qí lín), hot (ice) cream.

 

It's your regular soft whip ice cream garnished not with sprinkles but Sichuan style chili oil.

I'd try it.

 

 

Not quite the same thing, but a few years back, Kenji wrote a recipe for Sichuan Chile Crisp Sundae With Peanut Streusel in the NYT. I made it and thought it was pretty good.

You're a woman of catholic tastes. Mostly I'm not fond of chile in chocolate, brownies or cookies. The exception for me would be pan forte, the sweetish concoction of fruit and nuts and cocoa with a hint of pepper. But just a hint. Peanuts and chile, by all means. Ice cream sundae with both, well, I might not even taste it.

Long before the chili and chocolate combo became popular, I found a cut-out gingerbread cookie recipe that had a good amount of ground black pepper in it. This was long before the internet and apparently I didn't write down the recipe but now I always add finely ground black pepper to my gingerbread cookies. Makes the ginger more gingery if you will,
