show-off Big Jalapenos
- Thread starter Voodoo 6
- Start date
The ones they sell here in the supermarket are 8-12cm.
puts my zapotec to shame 
If those are the same Jalapenos I've came across here, those will be plenty hot but not so much flavor. Gigante possibly?
Maybe as to size, but I bet your Zapotecs hold their own just fine otherwise!puts my zapotec to shame
Maybe Voodoo using one of his trick rulers.
I've been seeing this size for a few years now. At first yeah, wtf, then, normal.
Variety?
5" jalapenos (bottom one is 5" exactly) with ever-so-slight corking. I have heard of Gigante, Gigante II, and Big Guy but would these be at a local supermarket? These things are awesome. Dark and thick like a poblano. HUGE!

Voodoo 6
eXtreme
Even the ones at taco cabana are out of control, they don't even put them out on the salsa bar anymore because they are too honking big for the containers??, you have to ask for them. They have to be coming out of Mexico, maybe in some underground laboratory or something.
