Folks ,
there i was at Vancouver's "Granville Island Market" ; browsing
thru the local "exotic ingredients" stall .
hey, some interesting fresh chiles here ... well sorta fresh.
withered stems, some dimpling, some obviously aged.
names were ... Werri-Werri (alt Marie-Werie) & some Trinidad
Christmas chiles, and some red & orange Habs mis-labeled as
Jamaican Scotch Bonnets . get this tho' ... they're $5.00 / 100g !
put into perspective ; that's $50.00 per kilo , roughly $22.75 a Pound!
i looked around for the "hidden-video candid-camera" type setup,
but nothing ... apparently they're serious about the price.
so was i ... i declined buying any ... can't believe the nerve !
regards
peter g
