Oops - sorry folks, this was only meant in jest. I didn't
mean to offend anyone.
Chile-related: Well the peppers are ripening at a frantic rate
here in Ottawa, Canada right now. I am picking red habs, scotch
bonnets, jal's (fully ripened to red), super cayenne, serranos,
hungarians and hot portugese. Crop was really plentiful this year
but had a few mislabelled seedlings (my anaheims turned out to be
hot portugese - not sure how that happened). I now have to go and
reclaim my dehydrator from the person I lent it to so that I can
preserve my bounty!!!
Meanwhile munching the fresh ones ....
