I am super pumped to say that I survived my first Carolina Reaper, and got it on video too!! I think that a combination of me not getting the plants in the ground early enough and our less than ideal climate up here in Canada, really stunted my pepper crop this year. I managed to get one okay sized Reaper and used it for my introduction to these beasts. The flavour reminded me a lot like a ghost pepper, which is real tasty. I had to fight tooth and nail, to not consume something to ease the pain. I felt like I owed it to myself to ride out the experience no matter how much I wanted to tap out. Please forgive my real lame commentary. I was having a tough time really putting out a clear thought, and it definitely seemed like I was rambling on about a lot of nonsense. I wanted to give a good description of what I was going through, and try to give some description of the peppers for my friends and family that really don't know anything about peppers. They are always asking me why I eat them. Also please ignore the dogs, I didn't even realize that they were barking the whole time until I watched my videos. For some reason my phone was only letting me record 3-5 minutes at a time. I ended up splicing all the videos together. Anyway I hope you all enjoy watching me in my agony. It was definitely tough from the start through to the next day when my body still didn't feel quite right. Would I do it again? Hell yeah! I can't wait to start using these peppers in my cooking, because they definitely kick things up.
