So I just plucked some peppers from one of my gimpy cherry bomb plants and decided to slice into one.
Upon the first bite, I knew something was wrong. The familiar tingle began radiating from the tip of my tongue to the outside of my lips, culminating in a rush of panic driven saliva. I don't remember anything this hot since the super strain chocolate habanero I ate last year. I double checked to make sure I had the right plant, and I was not mistaken.
You can see below the three out of the four whole peppers I picked, and the dastardly culprit abandoned on a paper towel. The last image is a cherry pepper (right) I picked up at the local farmers market compared to mine (left).
What gives?! Has anybody ever experienced an intensely hot pepper in what should be a sweet, mild strain? This thing is deadly serious. It's fifteen minutes later and my lips are still throbbing!
