Funny you mention that, I was just in Rotterdam and saw and tasted some amazing sambals at a market but didn't but any. I regretted it as soon as we left. Oh well, in Amsterdam now, might see if I can find some here.
Good thread

I saw a video recently of a hot pepper eating contest. The final round was a red pepper called Carolina Reaper which averages around 2,000,000 scoville units.
I'll add another pepper. That's a cross habanero martinique x no name , tasty fruity perfume typical It is a Scotch Bonnet , Superhot Capsicum Chinense variety from Martinique. Dark red pods.Great addition to your Habanero collection. Retains both the hotness that the flavor, although with an accent in more fruity,
the reapers are coming in fast now- bit late in season, but the weather looks like high 70's/low 80's for the next 10days, so should see a 'few' red ones...besides the 100 ready to turn red ones, must be 100+ nubs and 100+ flowers... my ass is already starting to feel the burn...

ate the 1st reaper of 2018 - it was small, and didnt pack a big punch, but the taste was there - also sampled the 1st cayenne of the season- it was long, but green, and again picked early so it was lacking heat... but there are coming on...

Man, my reapers aren't even close
And, one lonely cayenne.
But this 3 year old Tabasco is getting it
It's going to be a hot summer!

My count dracula pepoers are growing nicely and my ghost peppers I started from seed in January are starting to bloom.
The first time I had a ghost pepper I crushed a dried one I had grown on a plate of pasta.
I ate one bite and had heart palpitations and mild hallucinations all night with a burning stomach.
Keep some milk and ice cream handy when you try your first ghost pepper.

also heard that sugar and/or salt works to calm the burn...

So what's the longest anyone has kept a pepper going? I've heard two years, but that Tabasco is into it's 3rd season, and looks like it could go longer!

Thai Yellow...3 years + one season with a clone that flowered twice as fast as the seed plant. Weird as hell, the thing just started throwing chilies left and right as soon as it had roots.
i have '2' reapers that are on their 4th year- this year i trimmed the top, trimmed the roots, added new soil/castings, and its at least a month ahead of the reaper seed plants- picked one the other day... little heat, but it was tasty- soon that will change- it will be tooooo hot to eat
Yep, straight white sugar on the pallate. It works much better than dairy by blocking the nerve receptors.
my reaper must have 100+ fruit on em... none yet turning color, but there is a shit-load- and i have 5 reapers growing.... colon-cleansing for the masses....
