Planning to do that chili con carne next Sunday, so no time to grow the plants... Also electricity is super expensive in Berlin, so any artificial growing lights will break my monthly budget.
- tomkinstinch 10y agoI'd love to visit (or work in) Berlin. Can you find whole dried chili peppers, or canned? They're obviously not as good as fresh, but they'll still be delicious. Dried chiles are very lightweight, so probably not very expensive to have shipped to you in bulk. They're easy to rehydrate (and you can use hot stock instead of water for extra flavor): http://www.chilipeppermadness.com/cooking-with-chili-peppers/how-to-rehydrate-dried-chili-peppers http://www.chilipeppermadness.com/cooking-with-chili-peppers...
- pimeys 10y agoGermans don't like spicy food in general. There are a handful of restaurants serving something that actually burns in your mouth, but you have to beg them to actually cook it for you. For chiles in supermarket, you get the basic jalapenos and if you're really lucky, habaneros with a premium price.
- russell_h 10y agoI did a huge batch of Kenji's chili con carne yesterday, probably my fourth time. You won't regret it. Edit: this place looks promising in Berlin: https://potandpepper.de https://potandpepper.de
