Kevin, you try like heck to get anyone else to eat a pod. That is what you do with them.
Bruce

Well geez, just don't chomp on the whole pod. Cut it up into small bits and mix them into things you would like irradiat .. er .. heated up.

...

Or nibble them directly. Think of it as inoculation.

LMAO

C'mon Bruce! You can't have THAT many idiot friends, so you must be doing something with all YOUR pods.

DMF:

I'll have plenty of pods to try with other foods. Actually, I don't like raw chiles, but I make it a point to try each variety(that I grow) RAW so I can truly TASTE what I'm dealing with.

How are most people using these superhots? A lot of my chiles go into mexican dishes and stir frys. I also pickle and dry alot of them.

Kevin

woohooman, no, I dont have that many friends. In fact, I have very few ever since I started growing super hots and passing them out to my "friends". Don't feel sorry for me though. It leaves me a lot more time for my peppers.

Congrats for trying it! Sauce is what I make from the supers and nukes. On occasion I slice and put on a sandwich or in chili soup. You could pickle jalape�o's and add a 1/2 or whole pod to heat it up. Once I figure out and have time maybe jelly. Drying and making flakes or powder.

I second habjolokia on the sauce. I love my nagas but I've never even attempted eating a whole one. I've diced them up and spread them over pizza, burgers, etc. and they still packed quite a punch. Making sauce can bring the wonderful flavor of the superhots while allowing you to use it in smaller quantities so you don't burn your face off. Making sauce also opened up the world of mashing to me, which has been quite fun. I enjoy the fermentation process and especially enjoy the end result of my work. =) I'm not saying you have to mash to make a good sauce, but it's an interesting and potentially fun aspect to making sauce. There's plenty of options for how to use them. Sauce has been my favorite.

Bruce:

You're kinda funny sometimes.

Mark and sleekit:

Cool. I make alot of salsa, but I've always wanted to make just a pepper sauce like Tapatio. Perhaps you guys can help me with some recipes once I harvest more pods.

Kevin

woohooman,

You said "Bruce: You're kinda funny sometimes"

I think you're misinterpreting Bruce's posts. He's the most serious guy I know on this forum. Seriously.

Bill

ps. OK, "He's the most serious guy I know on this forum" when he's on his medication.

Yah, well, I can't see the aliens stealing my peppers at night when I take those damn pills. So, I quit taking them. Now my only problem is what to do with the damn aliens I have captured.

What, you don't believe me?

Wanna see a picture of one???

HA, I win Bruce. My aliens are better lookin than yours!!!

ps. For you young ones out there... the orig Star Trek.

Yah, the green women that could suck the depleted uranium off a 30mm AP round. One of the few times you see Kirk with that glazed-over look in his eyes.

...

Kevin, I have one word for you. Just one word.

ÃÂ "Plastics"ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ uhh, no.ÃÂ ÃÂ "Chili"

You know, the kind with road kill and spices. And no beans.

I always have trouble getting it warm enough without bringing out too much chile flavor. (Chili is a meat dish, not a vegetable dish. (So shoot me. I'm from Texas.)). A couple pods at a million Scovilles and it's good to go.

Keeps away vampires, too.

Yep, that was a good episode. As a young kid, that was a pretty saucy scene. I would have loved a DVR back then with a rewind button.

You guys are a riot...made me forget the topic of this Thread ;-)
I happen to have a lot of idiot/adventurous friends, many of whom are drinkers, as well.
At barbecues and such, they'll often eat the peppers that I bring....and then suffer for 10 minutes.

DM, chile is a meat dish in my book, too. No beans.

Josh

For the record, chile is beans. The proper term for what you eat is chile con carne, chile with meat.

But yeah, you don't eat nuclears. You find some way to get OTHER people to eat nuclears and then laugh at their pain. As I've said before, I make vodka infusions out of my bhuts. It turns dark yellow when its ready and the peppers blanch out white, and I keep it in a crystal head vodka bottle (which I got empty off ebay, because no way in heck am I paying $90 for a bottle of vodka). Crystal skull bottle, dark yellow, hotter than the fires of hell, I call it "Satan's Piss".

Its great because the alcohol dissolves the capsaicin so you can't taste it. The suckers always swish it around their mouths trying to taste something odd, swallow, and proceed to tell me I screwed it up. Then about 30 seconds later the alcohol evaporates out of their mouth and they're sent into gasping, choking spasms that last for a good 10-15 minutes before swearing never to drink anything I hand them ever again.

Nope, chile isn't beans ;-)
Chile, realistically, is simmered peppers and onions for the essential stock/base.
Beans are a substitute for meat, when meat isn't available or when feeding vegetarians.
