Sir HF and his orifice

[owens_2k]

I remember in uni some c*nt kept robbing my brown sauce and nobody owned up to it. To smoke out the rat I put Dave's insanity sauce into my HP bottle and mixed it with the brown sauce. That rat came a runnin'

Like Last Tango in Paris, sir HF?

[Sir Harvest Fields]

More like last time he dare eats my food. He was bright red, head 'tween his knees and almost crying. Thieving twat.

I'm a chilli fan too, it compliments most of my meals although I don't do scotch bonnets and up whatever that scale is...I'd like to share my top chilli tip I discovered in Mauritius. All the restaurants serve in a small dish as a condiment (with the salt and pepper like) chilli paste. Just wizz your chillis in blender with olive oil and keep in fridge.  Pop a bit on side of your plate to enhance any meal. Can use as an ingredient obviously and will keep in fridge for months in a jar with a good protective layer of the oil on top. Can't go wrong.

I usually use my chillies in curries and the likes

But I recently started putting them in my scrambled eggs in the morning

Delightful

Chilies for breakfast? Fuck me that's hardcore. 

[Raul!]

The strange thing is that many Thais don't like really spicy food. My wife and daughters never eat chillies in meals as they see them more as seasoning. On the other hand I always wolf them down, to their amusement. So after a meal I have a clean plate while theirs always have a pile of chillies on them.

The other thing is that if you watch the egotistical, annoying cooks on British TV they invariably advise you to scrape the seeds out before using them in preparing a meal. I've explained this to my wife and Thai friends and their reaction is always "why don't they just use fewer chillies if they think it's too hot? ". De-seeding chillies is completely unknown in Thailand

True for most Indians as well.

My favourite omlette: Cheese, fresh green chillies and coriander. Occasionally mushrooms as well.

The Scotch bonnets I've grown are savagely hot.

I reckon I've got about 4/5 pound of them. Need to get busy with them.

Huevos Rancheros is a breakfast dish, basically fried eggs in tortillas with salsa and cilantro and chillies in. It's really good as well.

Can you grow any sorts of chillies all year round do you know? I bought some jalapeno seeds a year or two back and keep procrastinating with those, would love a jalapeno plant though.

I've got Scotch Bonnet, Peppers, and a few Medusa chilli plants growing at the moment in our conservatory. I'm desperately trying to nurse a couple of Ghost Chilli plants. The Ghost chilli seeds I got have only germinated at 10% success.
If the environment is right, they'll grow anywhere, anytime. I've had a 75% germination rate on all apart from the Ghost. If you google it, the general consensus is that the hotter the chilli, the more the germination rate decreases.

Cheers bud, I'll be doing mine in either the garden or indoors by the window. Are you using any equipment for yours or just daylight?

Since he's moved to Scotland I bet he's forgotten what actual daylight looks like.

I just germinate in a cheap propagator sat in the conservatory, then transplant into pots.
The conservatory is south facing, but I'm in Scotland so that probably evens it out.

During the summer I stood the plants outside during the day, then brought them in of an evening.

I've just planted some more seeds to see if I can grow through the winter.
Fingers crossed.

[beardsleyismessimk1]

Being indian , having chillies with everything comes naturally.

There is the miri wiri , and the peri peri which are both super chillies, as well as red thai chillies.

Anyone like real authentic thai food from the south of the country where it has more fiery side to it will love dishes such as keaug kling

There's 2 Carolina Reapers staring at me in the kitchen right now. I'm considering how to deal with them.

It's the sensation of molten lava in my mouth that's making me wary.

Strong stuff Willi.

Got some family that grow those and use them for whole hog roasts and massive pots of chili.

Take one, chop it up and put it into a bottle of oil (veg or olive) and have a chilli oil. That will keep forever to douse on chips, steak, BBQ etc

The other I would either put in a curry, chilli or trick an unsuspecting friend into eating a ''korma''

[Samie]

You can make a Korma "hot" can't you?  I mean just tell the chef to spice it up. or just order a Phal. 

[Willi]

Looks like I'll have to buy a hog.
The bottle of oil is a good idea, thanks.
I don't want to kill any friends although I can think of a few people I would like to 'trick'.
I'll probably have about 10 once ripe. I try a different 'interesting' type each year.
The others, various Jalapeno, Thai, white (this year) Habanero and Cayenne plants are producing way more than I need. I dry and freeze anything I can't use fresh.

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Im now having a stilton, onion , thai finger chillies and scotch bonnet toastie. Bloody amazing.

[Willi]

Just read that SHF and it's made me hungry.
Potato soup with chopped spicy sausages and Thai chillies for me tonight

[Lad]

This thread was started ty CHOPPER.. Where the fuck has he gone ? Used to be on every thread in here.

[Wigwamdelbert]

Started making my own insanity sauce, obv it can be varied by scaling the amount of chillies used, but as a rough idea, my last batch consisted of about 80 red finger chillies, bake them in the oven for about 10 minutes on a low heat alongside 4 unpeeled cloves of garlic, put the chillies, in  a bowl with 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar, squeeze the garlic in, add a teaspoon or so of dried basil, a teaspoon of salt and a cup of light oil, blend then pour into a squeezy bottle.

[Molealdinho_LK]

Really want so start growing my own and hopefully attempting a few sauces.

Anyone any tips on where to start?

If I had them I would chop them very finely take them to work and put it into my bosses sandwich then hide the toilet key so the fucker shits himself. Or make chili oil whatever floats your boat

Have 2 lovely ripe peppers on my 'Golden Ghost' Chilli plant in the conservatory.  So Its time to harvest my first peppers of the year.

Apparently these babies hit 1 million heat units on the Scoville scale,  so safe to say i'll be using just 1 of these in a rice dish I've got planned tonight.  Too hot for the missus so it will be going into my portion after I've served hers.

I love the chilli plants when they start bearing fruit and it seems a shame to harvest them. Although, harvesting ripe chillies allows the plant to use its energy to develop new fruits so all good.

No wanking afterwards unless you like that kind of thing

The Scotch bonnets I've grown are savagely hot.

I reckon I've got about 4/5 pound of them. Need to get busy with them.

Don't forget to wash your hands after getting busy with them.

[CHOPPER]

I have 4 young shoots that have sprouted, 3 from a 'long & hot' variety and sadly, only the one from the 'Ring of Fire' variety(a lot hotter apparently). Big push this year to get back to getting my chillie yields back to the good old days.

Anyone else growing Chillies this year?
