Nice haul on the MoA's Ramon!

Tanks Scott, you are always too kind my brethren

Devv said:
Also liked the review of the Barrackpore, glad it has a nice flavor. Jaime sent me some of them real early in the season, I used them in a powder, cuz at the time I was too chicken to eat them. However I saved the seed and will have them in the dirt next season.

Dem hot as hell, don’t let my taste impressions fool you, she light me up mon, lol … remember I focus on taste VS heat and on dat one I seriously neglected to mention the heavy burn, my apologies mon but I think I got the taste very close, enjoy!

Devv said:
Um...Mrs. Walkgood....did you read post #1798?

Ok now you are seriously on my shit list

Devv said:
I hear 'yall about the furniture, our kids wrecked everything we ever bought. I waited until they left before getting anything nice....but now we have grandkids..LOL just can't win on that one!

Great now I have some more wreckage to look forward to, lolz …

SweatSauwce said:
That white bhut pod looks tastey, interesting how you describe it as a kumquat tangeriney taste.

I try to focus on the taste and not the heat, that said it’s more like the rind of a kumquat VS the actual tangerine taste which is not as tart … I actually said “Without the picante (heat) the taste can be described similar to a clementin, tangerine or a sweet kumquat without any of the sour, rather a hint of sweetness. Possibly more like the kumquat rind which is actually the sweetest part. I wouldn’t bet my life on this description and I’ll have to eat a few more to put my finger on it but I must say I loved her … “ I also edited my post to add “I also taste a hint of Anise in this pepper and she's quickly becoming one of my favorites ^_^ …”

SweatSauwce said:
I got a crazy question out of all the peppers you grow which is your favorite tasting or that you can cook with everyday and not get tired of.

Well my favorite is the Jamaican Habanero that I’ve been growing and eating for years but equally I love many other peppers … heck tonight I fell in love with Jamie’s (romy6) Yellow 7 both raw and in a sofrito starter … more on dat later ^_^

SweatSauwce said:
Thanks again for the seed mon.

No problem mi Miami brethren, sorry I didn’t think of giving you some White Bhut seed, I have some if you want so let me know. BTW thank you for da mango’s. Dem elongated ones remind me of Vietnamese Mango I seriously love dem and they are a very tasty verity IMHO … Have a great weekend!

Ok, after my brethren Jamie (romy6) told me “the Yellow 7's have always been my favorite pepper. It was the first 7 pod variety I ever grew. Very easy to grow and insect resistant. . Great fresh, powdered, or making sauce. . Hot but not too hot. If I had to only grow one pepper that would be it.”

I decided to pull out da ~~guns~~ girls plate for a photo shoot paying tribute to my brethren Mr. James (romy6) Yellow 7's. Only a very special pepper can be depicted on da girls plate and I’m still waiting to shoot some pics of my own triple "A" MoA’s on da girls classic plate as well … shit dem peppers are classic ...

As I was chopping dem up my son and I decided to eat some before we made some sofrito starter … a citrus discernable taste or flavor if you ignore the heat but she’s not that hot, let me have some more … the next thing you know two whole peppers are gone, lol. Dam dem great tasting girls brother Jamie ^_^

Hot, sweaty and exciting is what I say, sweeter than an orange but dam she’s got some heat, sure not that much but enough to keep me excited … no she’s no Clementine or Orange in da Florida grow, she’s a hot smexy Yellow 7 and she’s got some ting to say … eat me mon and you’ll love me, hahahhahah… and we did ….

So we smothered her all over a grilled London broil, sorry no plating shots … we were too worked up after all da drinking and cooking

Ok she’s a cross between a sweet orange and a Chinese mandarin but she has a distinctive taste … her flesh is semisweet, sure I’m unscientific, lol. But she’s unique, aromatic, sweeter and less acidic than most super hots … but she’s one with a wonderful rich aftertaste. Almost orangish but more unique, with her overtones of what I can not put my fingers or taste buds onto. That said, she’s juicy, spicy and she’ll brighten up any meal … She goes great with a bottle of Pinot Noir from da Montery county, hope you have da chance to enjoy her intricate and exciting taste …

Have a great weekend everyone \o/

Oh yum! You got me all lathered up now waiting for my yellow 7's to ripen. Great shots and description of how it tastes!

Al-from-Chile · Aug 17, 2013

the white pepper is truely a ghost-pepper

and I hear you on the furniture / nice stuff ...

a couple of years ago, I bought some (for me at least) high-endish speakers ... just to find both domes being deformed/bent out of round by curious kid's hands after the first week :shocked:

I felt like dying for 20 sec or so ... :violin:

but eventually got over it ... so no really nice stuff for us for the next 15 or so years :twisted:

... at least they dont mess with them peppas :mouthonfire:

cheers, Al

Devv · Aug 17, 2013

Nice Yellow 7 review Ramon!

I just love London Broil, the leftovers on a sandwich can't be beat either.

Well the likes popos are out again, will bestow later.

Have a great weekend!

HabaneroHead · Aug 17, 2013

Making me hungry Ramon!

Tanks Stefan, I am seriously looking forward to reading your impression on da Yellow 7s and I think Jamie’s impression is a little more honed in than mine. But I gotta tell ya, I am now saving seed and soon planting my own … dem dat good …

You are so right, chop up dem leftovers, toss on some sofrito starter and melt some cheese over da concoction and you’re in heaven

Thanks Balázs ^_^ … I would strongly recommend growing the White Bhut, she’s tasty, smexy and she’s a beautiful looking plant that produces awesome tasting pods…

You are on my list brethren, just say pull da trigger and I’ll send off some pods but I haven’t even suggested dem yet cause your pulls put mine to shame and rightfully so … you da mon!

You are so right, I only ate half her pod and I was cooked, lol, now I know better ... .

Some of the powders that I’m working on building up inventory …

The JA Hab, Trinidad Scorpion and JA MoA Scotch Bonnet have beautiful colors, almost neon looking, pictures do not do them justice. Here’s the Trinidad Scorpion …

Chocolate Scorpion …

I borrowed the glass storage idea below from Doc Brent (thanks Doc) and decided to do some testing before moving all my powders to glass. In the lid I stuff a coffee filter rice ball tied off with a twisty wire, trimmed up and they seem to hold fine within the lids resessed area. If this method works out fine over time, I will move all my powders to this new storage method. The rest will stay in the ziplocks inside an airtight container with rice in the bottom and at the top which has served me fine in the past.

A few of the infused salts that I keep on hand …

Devv · Aug 18, 2013

Ramon my man, is good!

I really need to try making the salts.

Currently I'm keeping mine in the zip-lock bags inside a tupperware container with the rice bag. Our humidity level is so low here I don't think I'll have a problem.

I'm all for the higher humidity, hint, hint

For sure brethren they are awesome on almost any food and you have some great looking powders to work with from the pics I saw

You can mix in other powders also to flavor them. For example onion powder, garlic powder, sweet pepper powder, etc, etc. Some months back I made some MoA & Mango that was killer and I’ve made other strange combos that work out fine.

I do the same but also have rice in the bottom of the Tupperware container for added security as our summers are extremely humid and like you no problems yet. I only made two of the glass containers to see how the powder holds up in them and if it works well, I’ll move to this method only for display purposes and still keep the bulk in da safe, lol.

HillBilly Jeff · Aug 18, 2013

That's some nice looking powder

stc3248 · Aug 19, 2013

Thanks for the offer...but the last thing I need right now are peppers! :rofl:

I do wanna sample one...but take your time brother. I haven't even tried everything I got going yet!

I have tried similar with the powders...mine ended up clumpy but I didn't use the rice. Pint jars work well too...but I still just use zip locks and store them in plastic containers. I roll the air out of the bag and they keep pretty good.

Gotta hit the sack bruddah...take care!

Looks Great Ramon, love those powders in the s/p shakers you'll only find that at a true chili heads house :onfire:

romy6 · Aug 19, 2013

Great review of the yellow 7 and even greater pics. Nobody else shows their passion( for peppers) with words better than you. Why your not an official reviewer of the THP is beyond me :crazy:

. Maybe someone should clue the boss in.

The powders and salts look perfect just like I would expect it to. U got it goin on man :fireball:

Wow, those powders look ridiculous good, my friend! Yeah, sometimes pictures don't do things justice but in this case I have a pretty good idea of what they are all about, and I'm impressed.

Shane I’m surprised you haven’t had a chance to try all your peppers yet but I guess I understand looking at the pulls you have it must be hard to decide which one to eat and cook with, awesome pulls brethren!

Good point and I will be keeping the bulk of mine in ziplocks as well with rice at the bottom of the tupperware container and at the top inside a coffee filter. I liked the look Doc achieved in glass for display purposes, knowing how bad our humidity is here I decided to test 2 jars with rice to see how the powder holds up. If I don’t end up liking them for it, they will always make a nice gift for my brother or sisters.

Have a great week mon!

Thank you Devan for da kudos, I plan on making a few extra shakers with different colors and spices in each. As you already know they’re tasty and fun to share with family and friends. My sister & her husband were over one night, said “what’s this?” I told her, she said “oh I don’t like things too hot,” she hit the hottest one all night and asked if I would make her some, lolz.

Have a great week!

Thanks Stefan, I’m impressed too when I look and read thru your glog and I appreciate da kudos brethren. I hope you have a great week!

romy6 "Not Douglah"
I was blessed to receive one of brethren Jamie’s (romy6) “Not Douglah’s” and if you’ve never had the chance to try one I say you are really missing out on one fantastic tasting pepper. She’s colorful, fruity, spicy, juicy, well balanced and semi-sweet all in one. She’s not overly hot but she does have a little kick. One could say she’s complex but once you experience her melt-in-your-mouth taste, I think you’ll agree that she can be a whole lot of fun to eat in or on cooked foods.

This isn’t the first time I ate one so I was well aware of how tasty these girls are. Especially when they’re fully ripe and juicy bringing on their sweetness. The largest one was a little over ripened around the stem but nothing wrong with the rest of her and I wasn’t going to throw this bad beauty away. After removing a little off her top I chopped up some onions and sautéed dem together to put over my steak & chicken stir fry. Boy was she sweet, fruity and distinctive … a treat fit for a king!

Thanks again Jamie \o/

Devv · Aug 20, 2013

Nice review Ramon!

Sounds like a pod worth growing!

MGOLD86 · Aug 20, 2013
