Well call me stupid, or ignorant... either covers this subject.
:)



I saw a few videos on YouTube among other places, and wanted to get some of these world class peppers.


So I bought 1/2 Oz, and a packet of seeds.

Hoping I can get a few plants going this year, but being as far north, I doubt the season will be long enough. So I'm thinking container growing them, and pull them inside to finish near the first frost this fall.



I had started a post earlier today on trying one of these, and the somputer froze editing the pics of these peppers(too hot for the CPU as well? hahah )

In general... OMFG these are HOT.
I have NEVER, NEEEEVERRRRR! had ANYTHING so hot with so little touching my tongue.


Started off licking it.
That alone should have stopped me right there.
Just licking it was easily as hot as the hottest jalepeno I have ever had.

I finally got loaded enough to think I could handle a bit of the peper itself.
took about 1/8 square piece....
chewed it up really good.
(chilis I have are either sun dried, or roasted)

OMG. I like the flavor. really deep, the chillis remind me of a aroma I once smelled in a tobaconists shop of some imported tobacco.
Almost like a deep wood smell from a fresh cut in a really hardwood.

hard to describe the taste.
The burn kinda killed it for a while.
Almost... I dunno, rich, smoky'ish...

The burn was INTENSE.

I was sweating a bit, but I barely had any. I couldn't imagine a whole one at once.
I could see 1 of these chilis in a REALLY BIG batch of salsa... at least 15 quarts.(probably more like 30 for my tastes)




IF there are any CRAZY hot food lovers out there, you pay shipping and i'll ship you a few.
I cannot actually see using the whole pkg I have.

mmmm... hot stuff.

i attribute my love for spice to my Mexican side of the family... my uncle victor makes an incredible brkfst burrito!... spicier than sh!t but tasty as anything you'll ever eat.  i think the harder life you live (this goes for peppers too) the more you can handle... victor grew up in a very rural and mountainous part of the rockies, was born in a little tiny shack of a house that barely stands anymore, and could put us all under the spice rack!   ;D

s00s... i'm proud of you... was it not even a dare?!   ;) 8) ;D

Soos,

Get yourself some compact fluorescent lightbulbs and grow them inside year round.

Any hydroponics store would also be able to hook you up.

No, just pure curiosity I guess.
