Garry AKA Pod Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I love the buggers. Only seem to be able to buy them in little jars and only sold by The Old El Paso Party. A Crying shame. Anyone know if supermarkets do their own? Not managed to find any yet. Would I be better going to a deli? I do intend to start growing my own.

I've grown them before but the ones this year didn't produce anything as the flowers just seemed to fall off before they could turn into fruit.

I'm more taken by the pickled variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They burn when they go in, and they burn when they come out... El Paso ones are expensive and mushy, though. Still, if you can't get anything else....

My local Sainsburies also sells Discovery branded jars of Jalapenos, I prefer this brand over Old El Paso. http://www.discoveryfoods.co.uk/product/11...-jalapenos.html I keep my fridge stocked up with about three or four jars at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Spider Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Melis pickled peppers from Turkey are my favorites . I usually get the mild yellowy/green ones (look like the fingers on the Alien spawn) which can be 8" long . 630g jar is around £1.45 at Budgens . Great cut up with with noodles and spring onions :-) Melis also do Japapeno pickled peppers http://www.e-foodandwine.co.uk/product_inf...roducts_id=1084 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if supermarkets do their own? Not managed to find any yet. Would I be better going to a deli? I do intend to start growing my own. Pricey of course but Waitrose sometimes do them at their deli counters and very good they are to. Much better than any of the label ones.......... Got to give it to the Yanks; the ones you get there, stuffed with cheese or not, are a quality way to eat too much if you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in London, go to Santo restaurant on Portobello Road, their Jalepenos rock hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr C Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 If you have a south window, growing them is best, most intense flavour when freshly picked. Also the best tasting chilli that I have tasted is the Tobago seasoning pepper, its a chinese habenero type with no heat at all but bursting with flavour. Best to germinate mid Jan to give a long season, feed with chilli focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
