Yep. First thing I did was take some reapers to work. $5 Reaper challenge. Got a few guys in the weld shop, but the Mexicans just wanted to buy some. Even they know you don’t eat one of those whole lol.

I'll eat five or six Jimmy Nardello peppers while I'm out working in the yard.
They are sweet peppers, of course.

There’s just something cool about growing super hot peppers.
My brother-in-law is a chili head and likes all the super hots. He was over on the 31st for my sons birthday party and he had a plant in his truck. I asked him about it and he said it was a yellow reaper that he had for a couple years and was going to give it to a friend. I asked him why and he said he can’t eat them (exploitive)yellow reapers. I personally don’t eat anything hotter than a Serrano. Here is a couple pictures from his harvest last year. He asks me every time if I want any but I always say no thank you.
Last year was my first time growing Tabasco’s and they were plenty hot for me. This year I am going to grow a variety of native peppers from Mexico. Zapotec jalapeños, pico de pajara, sinahuisa, and Tarahumara peppers. I also got a type from baker creek called Kalugerista going. Gonna be a good variety of peppers this year.
Right on I’ll have to look those up.
sure are red! here is some info on them...

what does he do with them all? just eat? or use to can? cook?
have grown cayenne peppers down here before. the bush almost becomes a small tree. always reminds me of christmas tree... red bulbs. and they are hot!
yikes! i can feel the heat all the way down here... that's an impressive plate of hot peppers. wouldn't want to eat one by mistake!
i have grown some habaneros. more orange than red. finally, one day i cut out a piece... maybe 3/16 square... if i grew them, thot it best i try them...
lol, it would have been ok by me if i had not! lol
i never seen Casey on Man vs Food take on one of those super hot challenges... eat it all and enjoy it! always total misery....
don't think i would care for a bowl of devi's soup... even if it has a hint of chili.
some can, some can't eat... here's a bit on those who can.

a jalapeno is about my limit, too! some red pepper bit or cayenne for cooking but vary sparingly for me. i like jalapenos cooked as in poppers. cooking tames them somewhat. i have grown them before. small and hot! prefer med size like at store. i took one of them apart yesterday afternoon. i needed some. for a batch of guacamole i plan to make... avocados, jalapeno bits, cilantro, garlic, onioin, cilantro and lime juice. cooked the rest... imo, addictive!
last night on the grill -
i'd much more prefer cherries from Walla Walla! ~No way would I eat a whole reaper. Just a sliver of one will make a grown man cry. Great for hot sauce and salsa though that’s where they really shine with cinnamon and chocolate undertones. Just gotta be careful how much you use
revised: Wawawai.....
I know just what you mean, FS!.... i think i have some Ghost Pepper seeds in cold storage. they can stay there! lol
down here if you go into a grocery store that caters more so to a Caucasion, etc patronage... they have peppers, but mostly sweet. go to some of the neighborhood Tex-Mex groceries that cater to the Tex-Mex, Mex crowd... and they got bin after bins of peppers. u can walk down the aisle past them and smell them. really! and most of them are h o t ! varieties. as in very hot...
serranos....
I cant stand anything hot, but there are people who love it! ---if you can stand it----go for it! LOL!
Walla Walla is best known for its sweet onions. Cherries are grown damn near everywhere in this state. Rainiers are my favorite. When harvest comes around people I know who pick are literally giving bags away.i'd much more prefer cherries from Walla Walla! ~
Same here. I love hitting the Carniceria, Taqueria, and Panaderia etc. that’s where the good authentic Mexican foods are.
oic, i did not know that. will look it up now that u mention it. sounds interesting. but u made me look up the cherries... used to go pick them as kid. not Walla Walla but down by Wawawai, Wa... down on the Snake River where the cherry orchards used to be. actually, i knew it was Wawawai... even said it to myself as i made post... just used WW though... lol. as i remember there was only one dusty dirt winding long road we took to get down to the orchards. may be the same in the historical pix below. we would climb the cherry trees and pick. ate all we could, picked the rest. special times!

>Cherries are grown damn near everywhere in this state.
well, i don't know about that! don't remember too many cherry orchards in Columbia Basin area, but do remember some midnite raids on neighborhood cherry trees when living in Seattle... lol
and even though i never saw many cherry orchards in M Lake area, etc or the many lakes in CB... i see they are very big there, too. live and learn...
The major sweet cherry production regions are east of the Cascade Mountains in the central area of the state. The three primary sweet cherry production regions are the Yakima Valley, with 12,000 acres; the North Central (Wenatchee) district, with 9,500 acres; and the Columbia Basin, with about 4,500 acres of cherries.

Don't know if any you guys eat Kimchi but it is a very healthy food source , it is probiotic which means it promote healthy guy bacteria and has plenty of fiber
It is a spicy food and for the hearty here you could probably add some of your hot peppers into the mix to make it even more lively , you can get at Walmart
I try to eat some everyday as part of my health regime , could eat a whole jar at one sitting but I don't and make it last a few days
