I recently placed an order for a pair red moruga scorpion boxes from one Judy P. PepperLover.com. Heard nothing but good things, so I figured that I couldn't go wrong by exchanging a few of my not-so-hard-earned dollars for some future colonic destruction.
I got a heads-up from my sammich-maker (see: wife) that my
parcel of pods had arrived.
Per the order I placed before they were all sold out, I got my Two Boxes in One Bag. When I cut open the side, I got an immediate whiff of the distinct aroma of peppers. One of life's little victories.
When I peeked in the side, I saw 3 things.
- There were 2 SFRB's
- There were some extra cutie peppers packed in the extra space
- There may be some trouble brewing in/on one of the boxes
I removed the two boxes and pried them open and marveled at the goodies contained therein.
(Pay no attention to the cupcakes)
Lots o' pain in these two boxes. Bumpy skin, tails, red as red can be. The smell was yummy. The smell of fresh pods filled that portion of the kitchen, causing my 7 year old to come in and say "Daddy, it smells like you're going to burn your mouth again." Yes, my crotch-fruit, yes indeed.
Also taking into account the lovely little bonus peppers -
Yeah, I took a bit out of what I assume was an Aji Amarillo. So what. Big whoop. I was hungry, alright?
A majority of the peppers all looked and felt great. But, there were some casualties. I saw the culprits behind the icky corners on one of the boxes: A couple of demolished pods were mushed into the corner and another two were ruptured with a bit of mold on them. It almost compelled me to pull out the ol' trumpet and play a round of taps. But, then I realized that the wet on the corners was oil. And I mistakenly rubbed my eye after having handled the moist corners. And I cried manly (not so manly) tears. By and far the worst part of this whole ordeal. Not upset, though, I know that s*** happens and the box was probably crushed a bit
All in all - A wonderful pair of boxes of scorpions and a great set of extras that I'll be trying my hand at preparing as a sort of appetizer for this weekend.
TL;DR version
PepperLover.com/Judy/Whoever behind the scenes is cool in my book. Buy with confidence. Good pods. Fast shipping. Love you long time.
