Was never a regular thing. Now that my friend has passed they'll never be held again. I don't sell them and noone i work with interacts with them for any reason.
Whatever dude, don't care if it was only once. It's beyond stupid - which you seem to know, and makes your post all the more confusing. Whether you say "don't try this at home" or not, it's encouraging others to do it.
This original post was from months ago. Haven't held them since and I don't let let anyone near them. Continuing to tell me how awful something I don't do anymore is a waste of both of our time.
I am seriously addicted to hot peppers. Stick with them instead of handling hots my friend, better for youI love peppersdefinitely don't handle hots often... held a few species with a very good friend who has passed since. Haven't handled since but glad to have experienced that with him.
And seriously, if you have not tried a reaper yet, you simply must. But start small - it does take some repeated exposure to be able to handle just biting into one and going to town. They kick like no other, and yet still have a lovely fruity under tone to the taste - it isn't just heat. If you aren't up for the full experience, get a single reaper, put on gloves, slice it up into long thin bits and slip them into a normal bottle of hot sauce. Let them soak in there and they will add a lot of extra kick without making you think you will never be able to use your lips again I ate a habanero by itself. Didn't hurt until lunch break the next day...I am seriously addicted to hot peppers. Stick with them instead of handling hots my friend, better for you
OMG dude, I nearly spit on my monitor I laughed so hard reading that... thank you, I'm still sitting here grinning as I write this reply.
I'll never forget that kind of trauma...
