chinense Found some Fresh Naga Jolokia at the grocery store

[MNhots]

Hi Guys,
 
I picked these up from the local Cub Foods here in MN yesterday.
They were avaialble for a short time last year also. This is the pepper that got me excited about superhots!
I used 1 pepper to make some Bhuna Gosht last night. It was delicious.
The remaining peppers are pictured here.
Price was about $3.50
 
I hope some of you can find these locally too.
 
Cheers!

I will certainly be saving the seeds for next season.
The first pod was a bit small and had only a few seeds.

Does your store serve a population of chile-eating South Asian or other folks? I'm wondering how Cub Foods got so brave and exotic in the land of Red Pop and Pop-Tarts.
 
Thanks for introducing me to Bhuna Gosht.  It looks like some good, hearty, potent stuff.

I'm with Lucifer, down in Hell...uh, Miami. We get nothing in even specialty stores but the same tired rotation. I envy ya, MNhots. Thankfully, some friends just brought me back some really interesting pods from Guyana.

I'm actually a bit outside the city. Mostly just mutt whiteys around here
Minneapolis has several Cub foods and they might just carry the hots at my location because the other stores do?
I have no idea if other stores do have these. I'll take a look sometime soon.
 
It was my first time making the dish. I will try it again when my tomatoes and peppers are ripe.

I have friends visiting Guyana later this month. I have been promised some interesting pods. Fingers Crossed!
 
What did you get your hands on?

Nice man. Tasty pods. I have a stash in the freezer. Buddy tried to grow some this spring but they didn't germinate. Might be from the freezing or else he didn't try hard enough. I'll give it a go next spring.

I'm hearing the same thing from people I've given/traded seeds to: hard to germinate. I'mma give it a god in the next few days and count on that Wicked Miami heat to help me out.
