My better 1/2 grew 2 plants, they produced these 15-30mm fruit that has the bottom end stick up, they are dark purple and then turn red, they are deadly and cost $20-30kg in the shops, I dont eat a lot but I give them out!

Send me some please! :-)

I'll see what I can do, I'll get you a picture and posted here when I get home

I have several varieties of chilies growing in the backyard from mild to very hot, the birds eye chili is good but not as hot as the aji omnicolour, I also have Turkish cayenne, Hot Cherry, to name a few.

 

Gotta love chili.

 

Radio gold: Harsha Bhogle, Kerrie O'Keefe and naga chillies @ the 2012 SCG Test

Rocoto (Capsicum Pubescens), Aji Amarillo (C. Baccatum), Scotch Bonnet (C. Chinense) and Naga (mongrel bastard from hell) in the garden at the moment.

Chilli FTW.

The Scorpion is awesome.
Fruity++++ but scary hot.

After sampling their Seven Pot sauce and their Naga Paste, I ate a dollop of a Chilli Factory 'Scorpion Strike' sauce on a biscuit: creeping heat, followed by feeling stoned for 5-10 minutes and a burn that felt like I'd eaten an entire mouthful of black peppercorns.
Needless to say I bought the sauce

Chillies I could never figure out why someone would eat something (more than once or by accident) that burns your mouth, your intestinal tract and then a day or so later burns your backside so severely that your to frightened go to the toilet let alone wipe your backside.It burns for a reason, to warn you to never,ever,ever eat this fruit again.

And you mad buggers are actually cultivating it.Enjoy your ring burn.

Here you go RTR,

 

I remember my ex manager had these and bough home a baby lamb,

 

this little lamb ate all the leaves and left the red fruit behind sticking up, an amazing sight that you will never forget!   :lol:    

 

Do you ever passed the Point Cook area?

I've been a chillie head all my life, since I grew up as a kid in Thailand in fact. My favourite hot sauce atm is "Bone Suckin Sauce" available here from Peters in Kensington. It's got really awesome flavour followed by a good burst of habanero heat - I have it on everything except icecream haha

 

A trio of mine

That one looks like it has balls.

What do you guys do when your spouse hates spicy food?

No idea, Mrs B loves chili

Just make sauce and have it on your stuff.

Sauce making is fun.

I have made sauce and pickled some plus I keep some in the freezer.

I made paste once with the pestle and mortar.

I'd rather buy it now.

 

Lastly the new babies growing

Those bell chillis are tasty.

They are Bishop's Crown chilies

 

I get all my seeds from Chilibird

Update, as healthy as they looked the buggers didn't survive, spewing!

Ahhh man that's a damn shame, any idea what knocked them out?

 

Mine are only a few weeks into the ground and are showing signs of stress (yellowing leaves) which I have remedied on other chilli plants by spreading spent coffee grounds around them and watering in so will begin with my "tonic" tomorrow.

Its purpose is to help clean up the gut.  The pain is psychologically good, once you know that all that bacteria from that leftover rare steak the night before will be gone.. The burn travelling through the intestinal tract will give you a sense of warmth..which may or may not be comforting.  Once it passes your gut, it will be metaphorically resemble like a polished white canvas for the next intake of grub.. trust me, your colon will thank your for this but whomever uses the toilet right after you may not!
