Default Storing chillies

The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:

I'd like to see you try my jalapenos as a salad chilli!

Phwoar! Huh-huh-huh-huh - - - glugglugglug


Well, if they are THAT much hotter than southern USA ones, I doubt
they are Jalapenos. Certainly, genuine Jalapenos ARE a salad chilli,
as any Mexican can tell you :-)


They came from South America to the factory where I worked as Jalapino.
There we froze them in liquid nitrogen, them milled them.

Some went on the floor before they were frozen and I collected a couple
of dozen, which I washed and dried. I saved the seed from some, and grew
a small forest of chilli plants, four of which are potted, inside, and
presently decorated with thumb-sized chillis.

One chilli in a casserole for four is *QUITE* enough, and that's how
much Scotch Bonnet I use.

Seeds available with s.a.e.......
