Ted- I have plenty of year old bishops crown (chapeau de frade) seed if you'd like it. It was open pollinated but grew true for me this year. Being a year old is generally not an issue with pepper seed. PM me if interested. Plenty of Jamaican Hot Chocolate Seed too for that matter.
I agree with Worth on the Bulgarian Carrot- the smoked B.C. powder I made last year was one of my favorites. |

I made a salsa out of Bulgarian Carrot and Kelloggs Breakfast one year.
I have to say it was one of the best I have ever made. Tomato. Peppers. A little salt and a pinch of cumin. Blender. That's it. Some times less is more. Worth |

Worth, I think you may be trying to hurt me. I watched a guy crying in pain on Youtube after eating a Jamaican Chocolate pepper. Bulgarian Carrot looks a little more within my pain threshold. I may have failed to mention "I don't like pain".

Note, tedln cries like a baby if he stubs his toe. His wife comforts him with these words of wisdom.

Good article, thanks for posting it.
So Currie is a self proclaimed genius, with the self proclaimed worlds hottest pepper. Only fitting he is hooked up with P. Joe. If they were peas the two of them would be in a pod.... I would assume the New Yorker can expect a phantom lawsuit.... |

I actually have a high pain threshold. When we built our chicken coop this past winter, I built the door 6' 2- 3/4" high forgetting that the top of my head is 6' 3" from the ground. As a result, I typically lose or rearrange about 1/4" of skin when I enter or leave the chicken coop. I rarely notice until I enter the house with blood running down the back of my neck and my wife says "been in the chicken coop huh?". I always wear a ball cap when we are out shopping to prevent people asking "what did you do to your head?" I've often thought about applying a piece of masking tape to the back of my head with the words "Chicken Coop Door" printed on it. That way folks sitting behind me in church won't have to wonder if I have some kind of fatal or contagious skin disease. Ted Last edited by tedln; November 1, 2013 at 10:39 AM. |

Here's the results of my delving into the world of mildly hot peppers.
a small bag of dried Chocolate habanero's their only for growing and admiring no eating, grew them just to be able to say "Yeah I grew them Once". |

Powder them in a spice processor, and add them as wanted to meat rubs for pork, chicken, or beef. You will find they add a wonderful zing without pain in small quantities.

Hint, go to walmart and pick up a cheap food processor for about $30. Carry it to your workshop. Plug it in. Grind your peppers. Sift and place in glass containers. Carefully wipe the outside of the containers off with alcohol and a clean cloth.
When your wife has a stuffy nose in the middle of the winter, offer to let her sniff your powdered peppers to clear it up. It is 100 times more effective than any over the counter medicine you can buy. One whiff and sinuses that have not drained in weeks will turn into Niagara Falls. |

I grew Chocolate Trinidad Douglah last year. I seeded some outdoors with gloves and a painters mask on. It was painful just to seed them! I woke up the next morning without a voice, that condition continued for close to a month. I have no desire to slice into any of the scorpion varieties any time soon. If I change my mind, I'll buy a respirator! Those super hots are dangerous.
