    food SAVE QUESO!

    That drives me nuts. They actually have chips in the grocery store that are "queso cheese" flavored. I :censored: you not. The girl at Qdoba (only ate there once, because it sucks) asked me if I wanted "queso cheese" on my burrito, I told her yeah, and some pollo chicken and frijole beans...

    Okay I admit it...

    Tastes pretty much the same as Crystal to me, which I also like at times. I just can't stand the extreme sourness and skunky flavor of tobasco, it gives me major bitter beer face. Green tobasco has a weird chalky taste to me. The standard cayenne/vinegar sauces like Texas Pete and Crystal are...

    Am I doing things right?

    5-6 days is about the earliest I ever get any to pop when sowing 20+ varieties, so don't worry. Bhuts are usually pretty quick for me, but they take longer for others. Some varieties like Douglahs I don't usually get anything for about 3 weeks.

    Trini food!

    That looks awesome, I'm jealous. There are no Trinidadian restaurants here. :/

    Cops at front door

    I'm surprised they didn't send a fully armed SWAT team into your house. For some reason the government believes that sending SWAT teams with guys in riot gear with machine guns to the houses of people suspected of growing plants is a reasonable thing to do in the "land of the free." These...

    Okay I admit it...

    All types of tobasco are wretched, so is Frank's red hot. I do like Texas Pete though.

    Promotion for HP22B

    Exactly what I was thinking. The whole thing just reeks so bad of BS it's hard to imagine anyone could believe it. Trinidad varieties originated in CHINA of all places? Peppers have tags in their DNA now that show which country they originated in? Some guy created 600 varieties of peppers...

    Chili or Chile?

    I prefer chile. Chile= fruit of capsicum plants, or a country in South America. Chili= stew made with beef and chiles. Chile powder= ground fruit of capsicum plants. Chili powder= ground fruit of capsicum plants mixed with spices (garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, etc.) used to make chili...

    Pro-mix bx price

    Hmm Menard's here has been phasing out the 1 cu. ft. Pro-Mix organic and outdoor, hopefully they'll start caring the 3.8 cu ft bales soon instead. Probably won't happen but I can hope.

    His prices have always been really high, hiis seeds are about 2-4x as much as most sites. I would never pay those prices, but apparently enough people do. Some people are really bad at googling though.

    The chocolate bhut jolokia is supposedly a natural variant that has been around as long as the red. That makes sense to me, since it's just as hot and the pod shape and growth habits are almost exactly the same. But I agree you can basically just say all the natural variants (not crosses) of...

    They're quite a few notches below superhots, Scotch bonnets are usually around 200k, a little less than habaneros. Fataliis have a very similar flavor, at least in my opinion, but with much more heat. There's no definitive list of superhots because there's no agreement on what a superhot is...

    I'm going to give it another shot this year, because most seem to like it. Mine had a strong chemical taste to them. I put one in a pint of salsa and I couldn't even eat it. Mine all had the black seed thing going on though, so maybe they had some kind of fungal disease that influenced the...

    It's not just Morugas. Red 7 Pods and scorpions are great too, and have fairly standard red chinense flavor. The scorpions have the most habbish/neutral flavor of the 3 imo. 7 Pods and Morugas are more fruity. I like the flavor of the bhuts/nagas a lot too, but they're a little more...

    I read that Huffington post article a few days ago, it's actually a good article. They actually did some research, got all the facts correct, and wrote a quality article. :cool:

    Yeah I grew them last year. Their flavor isn't much different than a red habanero, they're just far hotter. They're maybe a little fruitier than red habaneros. Sometimes it's useful to have a concentrated source of heat. For example, if I'm making chile and I use chipotle, ancho, and...

    They actually taste pretty good in my opinion. They have more of a standard chinense flavor than the bhuts/nagas so they're easier to incorporate into food for me. The only super hot that I've had that I think tastes nasty is the yellow 7 pod, and it's not really a true superhot anyway.

    But right before that he said "First of all I did give them Butch T seeds but I never labeled them that." So it seems that he's at least saying he gave them a mixture of Butch T and regular, if not all Butch T.
