Talking of spice....

Do I or don't I use these in a curry tonight?

 

[JAG009]

Yip ! put them in ............all of them if you are brave ,,or is that stupid ?

 

[ateallthepies]

I think stupid would be more fitting!

They are 5 feet away from me and I can smell them!!!

I would rather have flavour over pure Scoville numbers. If you like the taste, then put some in, but accommodate everyone's tastes.

 

[ateallthepies]

They are supposed to taste very much like Habeneros with a citrus twang. I have seen bonkers hot extracts but like you say all heat no flavour.

 

[Toddy]

Would they impart that chilli flavour (and some of the heat, but not all of it) to oil ?
Tbh I find using chilli oil easier than cleaning out and finely slicing chillis.

The Scorpians have a nice citrus taste (fresh pod; not tried dried yet), but mental heat, the reapers I can't comment on yet. I had a few pods earlier this year, and have dried and crushed them to be used at a later date.

Let us know how you get on!

Hi some of you might have seen this already but if not take a look at this gentleman sampling a Carolina Reaper.

What an idiot

 

[udamiano]

Taste over heat all the way! But I do like my chillies rather hot 😎

Hell yeah, Get the lot in, Maybe add a few Scotch Bonnets in for a bit of a kick. Remember and put the toilet roll in the freezer for the day after and maybe a ice pole or two just to be on the safe side.

I will be trying these after Chrimbo now with a couple of Chilli Head mates. I'm a bit worried as I have been dosing on various hot sauces to up the tolerance but I'm still blousing it at Scotch Bonnet level!!!
