I just couldn't wait until dinner time so I took the smoked bhut packet and shook it up real good until all the powder went to one end. I carefully opened it up and stuck my pinkie into the top half and since I didn't see any red on it I stuck into my mouth. I felt the heat immediately and I can just imagine what heat there would be if I had actually seen any color on my finger. How the heck am I supposed to put the powder on the fish and how much do I put on. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
