Darklight Posted May 19, 2004 I'm never gunna be one-a them chilli freak ppl ( we know you're out there ) but we just restocked some of darcy and mandragora's most excellent smoked chillies cos we ran out. These are the ducks nuts, well, actually they're smoked chillies, and they are the best thing I've seen done with food ( CS phone photos aside ) in years Fry 'em up with onion and garlic at the start of whatever dish you put them in ( tacos etc- you bet! ) and for the best results leave the food sit overnight in the fridge. Next day it's heavenly :cool: They seem to have a few kinds, jalapenos, bells, a few others- I have yet to explore the subtleties but will prolly over the next few weeks I have no idea whether darcy & mandragora actually sell these things, or trade them, or whether they fall like largesse from the sky. Hey you two- how does everyone else get some of your smoked chillies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mescalito Posted May 19, 2004 LOL! When I first saw the post I pissed myself laughing 'cause I thought some other fool had actually tried it on purpose! Well I must admit a while back I was separating some chill seed on the bench and some of the fleshy bits just happened to migrate into the tobacco remnants from the last ciggie as they were scooped up and dumped into the next cigarette unbeknowns to the smoker. Well battery acid to the back of the throat comes to mind Although the after taste was pleasant! I'd be interested in the SMOKE'd variety though for sure .

planthelper Posted May 20, 2004 in the 60ts and 70ts, rumors where spread, that one could get high from smoking a cigarette thru a both end's opend chilli, jacksons illusion pepper they called it. aswell chillis are sometimes added in smoke mixtures.

spiders Posted May 31, 2004 mate when i was in china they have a dishthat combines red chillis with seshuin peppercorns - the seshuan peppercorns make your mouth tingly and tumb - which is quite weird - and make the chillis one hundred times hotter - they made my friends tongue bleed!

Northern Gnome Posted June 2, 2004 Oh, that sounds so yummy! I have never heard of smoked chillies, but now that I have I will be looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strangebrew Posted June 3, 2004 Don't you like the very hot chillies Darcy? Those C.pubescens are beauties! I grabbed a couple as I was leaving the botanic gardens the other week. Wouldn't say these were quite as hot as thai, but boy did I get a nice endorphin rush about 15 minutes later! :D The habernero variety "hot paper lantern" is really attractive too if you can get hold of it.
