If you ever get a chance to try "carolina reaper" peppers I strongly suggest giving them a try. A friend grew some and they have amazing flavor imo. Very hot but retains lots of flavor when dried. If you can grow them, even better!!
- degenerate 9y agoSeconded, carolina reaper is the bomb. The bomb of pain and deliciousness.
- clock_tower 9y agoLike a MOAB drizzled with chocolate sauce? :)
- nathancahill 9y agoCurrently working on some Scotch Bonnets. Carolina Reaper is stuff of legends.
- xorcist 9y agoScotch Bonnets are one of my favourites! It has a lovely fruity citrus-y taste, and is really easy to cultivate.
- corey_moncure 9y agoI had the privilege of eating a fresh one at a fish fry a few weeks ago. Yes it was delicious but the pain is absolutely savage. I was a low-grade pepper head up until that, eating habaneros for fun almost every day, but the reaper made me re-think what I have been doing to my body. It is a brutal pepper and only the truly exceptional, probably <0.001% of people could honestly say they enjoy it.
- Mendenhall 9y agoI enjoy them but would never eat a fresh one, they scare me :) I use minute amounts in cooking because the flavor actually holds up and is different compared to other peppers I had. I do suggest to someone who may want to try them to use very small amount in cooking so they can enjoy it. I wouldnt want the experience spoiled because it is super hot. Whatever you do do not touch your eyes etc even after you wash your hands!
