lol im so tired im missing words

haha, aaron im gonna take my time bro. fix the body work and then go sick on the motor.

before anybody says "ohh its not worth it bla bla"

i know it isnt.

can i drop by and grab some chillies?

Ye if you want, I've got more here ATM than i'll be able to eat in the next 5 days.

I was doing to string them up, dry them out and turn them into chilli flakes.

Much better than the supermarket ones :D

But the plants are still going berzerk so i'll have more in a couple weeks

nah erman the The land of goat sphincter rings flamin mongrel took the pic from his fail phone

alright guys.

what colour should i paint this thing?

i wouldnt mind just redoing the stock silver as it really is a nice colour, but johno mentioned the KN6 purpley grey which is tits.... cant decide!

partial to millenium jade

Unfortunately not.

It was hot... But not UBER hot like i was expecting.

Will use 7-8 chilli's next time. That'll sort it out i reckon.

what do they look like? they are probably a derivative of birdseye's as they are the most commonly grown hot chilli. and can get fairly hot

the scoville scale is the rating of chilli heat, based on the actual capsicain (active ingredient) found in the chilli

now keep in mind that PURE capsicain (ie the hottest thing on earth) = 16,000,000 scoville units

from what's generally available in this country there are:

jalapeno: around 4,000 SCU - roughly the same as tobasco

long red: ~50,000 SCU great to use as you can smash HEAPS into food to get the chilli flovour without going to the heat of birdseyes

birdseye:: ~100,000 SCU hot

scud chilli (green thai chilli - prik) ~ 300,000 SCU (once had a dish at work with 40 of these and i could actually feel my stomach burning for about 30 mins after ) these guys are seriously hot

prik_ki_nu_m.jpg

habanero: - 500,000 SCU - the hottest i can eat straight (not fun) - and the main ingerdient in the best mexican hot sauce available - el yukateco! these guys have the best flavour of all the chilli's available, if you can get past the heat they have an amazing floral property to them. kinda hard to describe though

from serious specialists you can get:

bhut joloka (ghost chilli) ~ 1,000,000 SCU i have not eaten one yet... and doubt i could hande a straight one, but am assuming i could have one in food as i have had sauce made from these, (and it was terrible, not just the heat... the taste!) this was the worlds hottest chilli for years.

and finally...

The TRINIDAD SCORPION (Butch T pepper) - 1,400,000 SCU: 3 times the heat of a habanero... no fkn thanks! the worlds hottest chilli... grown in Australia.

and FWIW polce issue capsicum spray is usually around 3,000,000...

on a scoville scale they are just babies man ;)

Nope not birdseye, stronger than that. They look more like the Scud :)

Although they are much darker green than those pictures and some of them actually come out really short/red off the same plant.

Some do come out light green though like the picture, they aren't all that hot to me... BUT... Usually they are really dark green and have much more of a kick. Only 6-7 on my scale so i can certainly go hotter and have done so before.

Love going to Schuzuan House etc and ordering the "3-chilli" items on the menus. People jaw drop when i eat it without issues lol.

Love the spicy foods myself. Sichuan Dining Room in Hawthorn have some nice dishes.

Highly recommend you try these, Ash:

From memory they have habanero and jolokia extracts in them, though the website claims that some ingredients used have up to 2,000,000 SCU (maybe they use trinidad scorpions?). The first is quite warm, a pleasant heat for spicy lovers. The second one, is hot enough that you can't really enjoy the flavour...so I'd be interested to see what you think of it. It's bearable but not enjoyable IMO. One of my idiot friends scratched his eye after eating it...was tearing up for half an hour.

yeah, they'd be scuds...

they change colour through red, green and nearly black during their life cycle

we had a dish at MoPho that had 3 scuds snapped in half tossed through a sour thai pork pork belly salad....

the look on people's faces when they hit one was always hillarious!

Haha I could imagine. If you weren't a seasoned chilli eater that would certainly catch you off guard.

we grew a few chilli plants back home, they came out, green, then turned black. then red. was hottest when black.

they died though, grandma cbf anymore. the okra and red snake beans all died too. the bananas are surviving, but my fruits keep getting stolen

All this chilli talk. I only enjoy eating mild chilli. As it adds some spice and flavour. Any hotter and i just taste burn rather than enjoying the flavours lol

its actually the same for me, i tolerate spicey, i can eat szechuan food and handle it, 3 chillis and all, but i dont enjoy it. dont really see the point.
