Nastiest tasting pepper

Spicegeist said:
Really do not know if anyone has strong opinions on this, but couldn't help noticing the eternal repeats of tastiest, hottest etc.

How about that nastiest most bland or just plain disgusting pepper you've ever had? LOL, I don't know if it's possible.

I'll cast my vote for a giant Cayenne I grew last year or a Cajamarca I grew that had a texture that sucked and had almost no heat.

:twisted:

My dog was chewing on a favorite pair of shoes, so I shoved a jalapeno up his butt - I figured it'd really send a message.



Worst tasting pepper I've ever had.













:dance:
 
a friend of ours stopped by with some Lemon Drops, and he didn't like them, said they tasted like soap. So, we tried them and ..yea...we got the soap flavor.

When the kid and it tasted some Lemon Drops the summer before, we didn't get the soap flavor, but then again we weren't looking for a soap flavor, and the ones we tried were grown totally different in a different year in a different location with different ferts and suns.....


ok, you get what I was getting to~
 
Pc-1, Peter peppers, fresh cayennes(dried or fermented I don't mind them so much), and most ornamentals top my list of least favorite chiles
 
I found the Chacoense to be quite bitter and painful to tolerate. I love the Douglah's I have tasted as well as Lemon Drops. Most ornamentals are unpleasent to me.
 
As far as a soapy taste goes I think heat does it for Baccatums.
I usually plant early and or grow year round.
The spring harvest taste great but the next batch that comes from Aug. buds ends up always tasting soapy.
But the same plant the next spring puts out good tasting pods.

I had some of Eco seeds Giant Chocolate Habs that were the bitterest pepper I ever ate.Nasty.
 
I know when my peppers start setting I discontinue ferts all together. I know with other things it can have an effect on the taste and I don't want to chance it with my peppers.

Nastiest for me is the Pretty Purple. Grew it 3 years ago knowing it is an ornamental but also edible and mild heat. IMO to make that fowlness worth it they would have to be over 1 million SHU.......................nevermind that wouldn't even do it. Maybe 5 years from now I will have forgotten anxiously picking a purple little ball and popping it in my mouth, biting into it, and then spitting it out and rinsing my mouth out.
 
I grew a pumpkin pepper C. annuum that turned out to actually be an ornamental eggplant, and it was probably the most disgusting thing ever..

 
I got my douglahs from Mr. Duffy and I am not a big fan of them fresh but I think they taste wonderful dried.

For nastiest my vote would probably go to the Butch T, it is one pepper I personally will never eat again.

I also had some volunteer crosses that came up in my garden, they were cayenne x jalapeno, tasted like a dirty diaper!
 
Anything that has a perfume taste. Yuck. Worst one I ever had was at Justaguy's place. It was a little bity thing with a million seeds. Only time I had to spit something out. It was like eating aftershave.

No battery acid? Huh, how would you describe the taste? I'd rather be using those to make crosses with...

They're heat drowns out the flavor when eating them straight up. Cooking with them is another story. Check out the THSC, you will find that Neil has a Douglah vid.
 
For me it's the lemon drop. Got the soapy thing too. Don't get me wrong, i'd eat another if i had one but definately my least favorite compared to all the others I've grown. Smokemaster might be onto something with the "Heat & baccutums" thing. This plant definately endured a lot of summer heat.

I was disappointed with a tabasco from a hardware store I bought last year, turned me off to C. frutescens... at least for my 2012 season.
