Im growing Carolina Reaper peppers.
1.5 million Scoval units. The world's hottest pepper.
I will mail you one if you video tape yourself eating one and post it in the forum..
They will turn red once they get ripe.

Not me, I ain't no fool, I heard about those. Eating one is only the beginning because what goes in, must come out and I don't want a pack of coyotes outside my bathroom door the next morning.

It was a great way to improve my Lean Cuisine chicken parmesan yesterday.

Heat without flavor means nothing to me. Way the Hell too much heat means no flavor for a day or two.

People have passed out and worse from eating peppers in the range Hardline is talking about. I agree, I love the heat but it's got to have flavor.

Hot honey? That sounds amazing!

I like original Tabasco sauce for most things, like breakfast burritos and such, but last year, when I went out to Ohio, I stopped in at a Mexican restaurant and they had this awesome habanero sauce, the name of which escapes me. I'll try to remember to check when I get home, but it's got great flavor, as well as a lot of heat. So much heat, that one little bittboI got them to sell me has lasted this long, and probably a lot longer.

They make Red and Green Chile Honey here in New Mexico. It's pretty good. The honey is really good, all natural, not fake stuff.

In Albuquerque there is a restaurant called Sadies that makes salsa hot enough to burn the hair in your nostrils and help you grow it down below.

They sell it in the stores in Alb., and it's ok bottled, but much better in the restaurant. Even with the heat, it tastes fantastic.

My Wife makes Salsa that would literally put that to shame. Hotter, better, just superior in every way. I actually like Los Cuates Salsa better. It's more of a Mole though.

I had the Hatch Chili Honey at Central Market when they had their annual Hatch Everything Festival but it wasn't nearly as good as this Mike's Hot Honey. You put some of this on some Popeye's fried chicken and it is one of the best combination of flavors I have ever tasted. Salty, sweet, hot, spicy and crunchy all at the same time and bitter for the beer and you've got it all.

What, no "savory"???

OK add that and umami as well.

Yeah, there are a lot of people who are trying to duplicate that stuff but they just don't put in the effort to get it right. Mass production kinda falls down when you are trying to make a good product with this stuff and a lot of those guys don't use real honey and that's a problem. They use substitute Glucose stuff and it's not the same at all. Northern NM and Southern Colorado, they make there own honey and use good chile. It's night and day difference but they only make a certain amount. You can buy it along the road side, if you know where to go and they will occasionally bring it in to Albuquerque or Santa Fe or Rio Rancho etc., for things like Farmers Markets on the weekends, when they know there will be traffic and they can sell 50 or a hundred jars. during the summers, we go to the Farmers Market and buy it, here in Rio Rancho if they are there but normally, I will drive up to the Ranch in Pecos and it's always there at a local bar. They just sell it right there from a local person, who brings it in and frequents the place. It's good, I like it.

Sounds terrific, the stuff they bring to Central Market is more mass produced. I can remember when Hatch Chile weekend was just having the roasters out front and you either bought them raw or roasted. Now, it's two weeks long and they have over 100 items.

One thing I have noticed and here again we're talking about a crop but the Hatch chiles we got 20 years ago were a lot better, more flavor. And I can say the same for Vidalia onions, not the same, not even close with this last batch I bought. Used to be, nothing better than a Vidalia, you could eat it like an apple. But it's just an onion now, Walla Walla and Texas 1015's are better.

I think proof of said salsa is required for inclusion in this discussion

I know this, Draught and, if you can believe it, too much rain have really effected the Chile crops these past years. That with the terrible fire seasons we've had lately are taking their toll.

You buy the ticket, I'll make sure the Wife has a fresh batch of Salsa waiting for you.

Next time I’m visiting my brother in Rio Rancho I will hit you up

Tobasco, Tapatio, Red Rooster

 

[CouchCoach]

Very good.

I've got a 1981, only partially rusted out, 16 foot Winnebago and was thinking of making a trip out yonder. Mind if I park it in front of your home for a few weeks? And before you say no problem, my pink flamingoes go everywhere I go, all 16 of them. One for each foot of the motor home.

And I don't usually care to leave my rolling abode during Wheel Of Fortune so could you have the Mrs. run the salsa out to me? She's more than welcome to stay but if she's one of those that has to guess the damned answer every time a letter is revealed, I will have to insist on complete silence as I need to wait until all the letters are revealed to guess.
