Butt-Burner Peppers Anyone?

A late freeze whacked the Japanese persimmon tree last year.... it's fixing to bloom bright yellow flowers and produce several hundred fruits ( produced a total of 8?fruit last year) never had persimmon pudding but, good guy willing and the creek don't rise
I'll mail you plenty of persimmons....

Persimmon pie is great, but round here you gotta get to the persimmons before the raccoons get 'em all.
 
OK...Question for you hot pepper lovers...

How is it possible to enjoy a nice Scotch as a after dinner toddy?

It's safe to consume Scotch after hot peppers. After eating peppers the ignition source moves from your mouth to the the opposite end of your digestive system. Your body will metabolize the alcohol prior to the substances coming into contact, so the risk of explosions and/or fire blowing out both ends is minimal.
 
I don't see the point of eating a hot pepper before the dinner comes. My tongue taste buds are burnt off before dinner comes.
I leaned that if the pepper is really wrinkled then it most likely will be very hot.
I have seen men eating super hot peppers while sweat was rolling off their faces. I just don't see suffering like that and still be able to enjoy eating them. One guy took just a little bite and he was up out of his chair with his eyes watering his cheeks and his ears were even red. He didn't do that again.
I was watching a man eating peppers like they were candy. I asked if they were hot and he said no and he grows them in his garden. He gave me a little one and I took just a nibble off it. I was just about to say they weren't hot when my ears got hot and tears filled my eyes. I just can't understand how anybody can eat them like candy and not even sweat.
 
Years ago when I was still "playing cowboy," there was an old Mexican cowboy who worked at the same ranch...Charlie Rodriguez. Charlie was in his late 60's at the time and one of the best ropers I've ever met.

Anyway, one day we were doing day work at this particular ranch and at noon, broke for dinner. We were way up in the mountains gathering strays, so each of us had packed our own lunch that particular day. Charlie and I were paired up and were enjoying our meal together under a little bunch of trees.

I noticed that Charlie had a little jar of small, green peppers. He would bite the tip off a pepper and sprinkle the juice on his sandwich each time before he took a bite. He let me try one. I don't know what the heck they were, but they'd peel the paint off your driveway.

Another time, Charlie and I were having our noon meal. Earlier, I had found some pretty stout salsa that I liked, so I happened to tuck a small container of it in my lunch bucket. I was pretty proud of myself being able to down this salsa without breaking into too much of a sweat.

Anyway, Charlie was sitting next to me, casually munching on a vanilla Oreo. I turned to him and Said, "Hey, Charlie, try some of this salsa. It's pretty spicy." Charlie grabbed a tortilla chip, scooped up some salsa, swallowed, and replied, "Chipper, that stuff is about as hot as this cookie!" I was totally deflated.

Nowadays, I usually plant a few Anaheims and some jalapenos in the garden every year. That's about as high as my heat tolerance will allow. Of course, ol' Charlie would probably think I was a wimp.:)

My late uncle grew some peppers you had to wear gloves to pick and process them .. I remember as a young boy watching him eat a pint of them while watching TV in the evenings .. No one else would eat one !!
 
Most of the capsaicin (the stuff that makes the "hot") in peppers is in the seeds and the white membrane of the pepper. Cut out the white and discard the seeds will get rid of 90% of the heat and let one enjoy the actual taste of the pepper. One of my favorite snacks is a seeded jalepeno with Cream cheese on it. It's no hotter (well maybe a tiny bit)than a slice of bell pepper

I like a hot peppers as well as the next guy.......

But, I really crave hot horseradish, I mean the real deal.

About twenty years ago I was at the old 4 B's in Bozeman, MT.

Their hot h'radish slather'd on a slab of prime-rib, ah man, one bite and
it'd take yur breath away, make your nose run, eyes water
with beads of sweat cascading down yur brow.

Man, was it good !!! ;) :D

I finally managed to get a Carolina reaper seed to sprout. That pepper is supposed to be hotter than the Ghost or Scorpions. I grow jalapenos, serranos and habaneros as well. I dry them out, grind and blend them into what I call my "Pixie Dust". A good sniff of the jar will clear your sinuses right out. All it takes it a pinch in a sauce to add some serious heat and flavor. The Dust has ~15 different peppers blended together.
