Kudos on a ripe pod, Andy!

There's no controlling it, man. I can't grow a decent beard to save my life, but my arms and legs are like goddamn self-seeding Chia pets.

I just have to add to this. They wrote a song..."I'm just a hairy guy"..I think it was about me...LOL
About 17 years ago at the elementary school.
I got out of the truck, a 5 year old walked up to me and grabbed a chunk of hair on my arm. "Hey mister, you're turning into a monkey".

Haha, nope you win!

That's the secret golden pepper.

:cheers:
 
So I pulled 4 large green Sri Lankas off one of my plants cuz my wife needed some peppers for a thai dish she was making and holy crap! Not only is this pepper delicious on it's own, but the complexity of the capsaicin is nuts. I get a side of tongue tingle/burn (but never uncomfortable) and it progresses to a mild lip burn then you catch it in the esophagus (but again never uncomfortable or painful). If I had to compare it to something I would say Sichuan peppercorns. But better..

That's awesome! Looking forward to this pepper more and more! :)
 
 
That's just weird... did you actually get that sort of numbing sensation from it? Or was it something else that made that connection?

Not quite like a Sichuan peppercorn but very similar with the tingly sensation it gives. Really interesting. Even my wife who isn't a pepper nerd like me descibex it as really interesting compared to the other peppers she's had. Keep in mind these were green pods so it'll be interesting to see how they are fully matured. And just a heads up, they will kinda gas you out of the kitchen if you flash fry them. Not terrible but it will burn your eyes and sinuses lol

Cool!
 
I guess I'm fortunate that the shitty gas ranges they install here shut themselves off if you try to actually cook at a fun temperature. Seriously, some day I'm going to pull the stupid thing apart and figure out how to bypass that moronic sensor.
