I have discovered that padron peppers are NOT the same as Jalapenos.
I love chilli, so last night I used jalapenos to make pimintones de padron. (Fried in smoking hot olive oil for 4-5min and then salted and eaten whole)
I really got my tolerance back last night eating whole jalapenos. Not that jalapenos are the hottest pepper - I have a nice collection of scotch bonnets, habaeros etc growing in the garden, but eaten whole! Phew!
I cooked the same dish as a side again tonight, and my eardrums started pounding profusely!
Has similar ever happed to anyone here - eardrums pounding from mass chilli consumption?
