Well what the hell, just for the lulz- bounced around a lot when I was a kid, but never ate that much spice I guess. Started liking hot sauces in my teens, regular crap like Tabasco, Durkee, ate sliced jalapenos on nachos, etc.
Later on, actually just after I had turned eighteen, was visiting some friends in South Dakota and yada yada yada ended up staying for a little while longer than I planned. Ended up in a medium security facility half way through my time there, came time to choose a vocational pursuit, and I chose to get into the horticulture program. Not with the best intentions, I was kind of a yahoo after all. Anyway, ended up getting put in a greenhouse... and by some chance, my job was to grow the peppers. Everything from bells to habs.
And so a love affair with peppers and spicy food was born... and I even stopped being a yahoo! Mostly everything I ever learned about growing peppers I learned in prison. Thanks Al Gibson!

Now that's a story! And a good one too Boutros!
Gardening is supposed to be very therapeutic, and it's good to hear that you learned something worthwhile during your extended stay in SD.

Being raised on South Louisiana food I always expected some heat, food didn't taste right unless there was cayenne
in it. I discovered different and hotter chilli's while cooking Chile in cook-offs, then I found habanero's in the late
80's or early 90's, it has been a helluva roller coaster ride since then!

Hmm don't think I have heard of that one,I will have to do some research and add it to the list of things to do
Mine would have to be about 8 years or so ago when i fond a bottle of daves at work. It was chili night so i made myself a bowl to take home and put almost half a bottle of it on a 12 oz chilli bowl i had no idea what daves insanity was. Boy was i in for a treat when i got home that night and ate that bowl and the next morning when #2 said hello.
