I grew myself some white habaneros. For whatever reason. Insanity, I guess. And today I tried one.
These are tiny habaneros that get about as big as a white seedless grape. The biggest one I have is smaller than that. They are supposed to have a smoky flavor and be "very" but not "extremely" hot. I have been dying to try one, as you can imagine. And they're very nearly ripe; my first really ripe peppers, except for the Home Depot cayennes. So I popped one off the bush, and started chewing it whole.
That's when the white-hot plasma beam shot out of my __ and set fire to the neighbor's cabbage palm.
Who needs a MIG welder?
My God, these things are hot. I spat it out before it could reach full effect, and I was still in hell for ten minutes. While I was there I slapped Hunter Thompson and delivered a sharp spinning heel kick to the deserving groin of L. Ron Hubbard.
I am not totally sure what these peppers are good for. I'll have to try a smaller piece before I really get a handle on the flavor.
If you want fresh habaneros in great abundance, I highly recommend this pepper. You get hundreds of peppers per tiny bush, and each pepper is thermonuclear.
In other news I killed maybe half of my nice new tomato sprouts by leaving them in the sun too long.
Life sucks.
