Hi everyone.
Ok so i am fairly new to the forum. I have read up a bit and i am amazed at what is being done by some of you. I knocked myself down a bunch earlier this week. I used to buy my jalapeno and tabasco at the store until i decided to grow them this year along with other varieties. I have cooked alot with them and eaten them raw on several occasions. No issue. Spicy, good but meaah... i thought i was tough. Now my Tabasco is putting out fruit left and right. I picked out a orange one, so not ripe all the way to red and a small pod mind you for tabasco. Popped it into my mouth and instant heat, alot of pugnancy, even a bit of a bitter taste and i got the hiccups right away. The heat was all over and it lasted nearly 8 - 10 solid minutes, or at least it fealt that way. I have never had a store bought tabasco whoop me like that. My plant does not look like its a cross, i bought the seed from a good source. I guess i just cant believe how low my tolerance is. A tabasco is way bellow a habanero let alone a scorpion or bhut. I am thinking i may not want to go that route
I will say this, there was just pure heat to the tabasco, the little nibbles i take off the habaneros and bhuts i have bought on this forum have a lot more flavor then just heat. And my Datil plant, man i want to marry that pepper right now. I can eat those pods heat and all the flavor is addictive. I sweat more on the datil but it does not feel as bad as the tabasco... go figure.
any input other then my lack of manliness
