Another Harvest
Nov 13, 2019 16:21:35 #
My little shrub produced these this year. I do not juice these - too much work. I either eat them or give them away. That little pepper is a Trinidad scorpion. Supposed to be one of the hottest in the world. I give those away also. I know people who will use them to make salsa and other condiments. They scare me. I read about a guy who died from eating one. Said it upset his stomach so badly that he vomited and it scalded and eroded his esophagus so badly he should have had it removed but didn't and it eventually killed him. No thanks.

You must sign a release before I'll give you one. The "boss" at one the places where I worked liked hot foods and would regularly eat raw jalapeños with burritos from the roach coach. One of the guys brought in a bottle of Dave's Insanity hot sauce. It is incredibly hot and has warnings on the bottle to use caution. It's definitely industrial strength. So we were all using a toothpick to lay a little bit in our burritos and the boss called us all a bunch of wimps and lays it on his like it's ketchup on a burger. He ended up leaving to go get help breathing at the hospital. So I've seen first hand what peppers can do.

Not a pepper fan. The bride likes them hot.

My limit is at the level of green Tabasco. A little heat and a nice flavor. A burning sensation in the mouth does nothing to enhance the enjoyment of flavors (for me). Your mileage may vary...

I love the burn on some stuff, but I have my limit. My dad used to raise Hungarian hot peppers in our garden and would put them in stews, Chile, stuff like that, so I grew up with them. Jalapeños and Serranos are about as hot as I can tolerate. I've had some jerk chicken (Jamaican) that was pretty hot and pretty good that was made with scotch bonnets and they're way hotter than either of those.

Dares are sometimes tough.
Was it chocolate covered?
