Hi all,
I just wanted to introduce myself out of politeness, my name is Ted and I'm growing chilis for a few years now. I have my own crossings and tend to grow less hot chinenses. As I don't have the luck to be born into a sunshine country, I'm in a cold, windy and wet country. (Currently living in the Netherlands).
Over the last years peppers got a bit more familiar in the local cuisine, but mainly because of the large number of former inhabitants of the Dutch East-indies. I'm not really from a family that ate a lot of hot food, except for the occasional indonesian or chinese dishes. I actually got familiar with peppers through the German military. During some encounters with US personel I actually got into contact with the MRE jalapeno cheese spread, which I liked a lot (yes I know the army guys are nagging about their food, but trust me, german schmelzkäsezubereitung (cheesespread) tastes a lot worse!).
Back home I tried to find jalapeños, but these were not sold in the supermarkets. We had some turkish Urfa bibers and offcourse the here well known cayennes and rawits. Only over the past few years we are actually getting more and more peppers on the market (jalapeno, aji umba, madame jeanette, habanero etc). Therefore I was forced to grow my own jalapeños - and with success! I've grown quite some jalapeño variaties, but the jalapeño early is still my favorite due to our climate.

Offcourse I grown a lot of other species, of which some wild chilis and experimental crossings. I came to this forum due to the large user base, hoping to find some more information on new interesting varieties. I do work for a San Diego based US company, so I might actually get to see some of you guys in real life at some point.
