Trinidad peppers

[CAPCOM]

If you had a connection to acquire peppers and or pepper seed from Trinidad, what selections would you ask for?

 

[Buzzman19]

Hmmm, tough question.  With the SR strains introduced by Sara to the masses I am not sure what is not available in the states. 
 
I do especially enjoy the 7 Pot Jonah, 7 Pot Yellow, 7 Pot Orange, Red and Yellow Congo also.
 
 
Basically I am clueless as to the legitimacy of any of the 7 pots already available here in the USA.   So if you have a reliable source from inside Trinidad I would start with finding the common household peppers that everyone uses.  I'll be following this thread as I am sure others will chime in with first hand knowledge! 
 
 
cheers

The two I would pick are at the opposite end of the spectrum.The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion  may  rate high in terms of heat,but I like the Trinidad Perfume,its a great culinary delight & as per its name has a wonderful aroma,really no heat to speak of.
Of course they are both readily available here,as are most if  not all of the T& T peppers!

We have a customer in Trinidad that has ordered a new machine. Chances are they will come up here to see the runoff. Unlike a couple years ago when they were here for their last order, I will establish some form of international relations in which hot peppers share heavily in the conversation. This could provide an opportunity to acquire some lesser know pepper varieties.

i don't even know what else they have there, but following this anyways! ^_^

It's quite possible that there are still Trinidad chiles that haven't been brought to the States yet.

That is precisely what I hope will be the case.

I would be most interested in knowing what the locals eat, cook with, and enjoy the most.     I am growing several varieties this year that I didn't know existed the previous year.    
 
We live in exciting times, and I appreciate the effort you are putting forth with this.  
 
Thanks CAP.
