Bingo!

While in India, we were on an ayurvedic panchakarma treatment, so the diet was very strict. But I couldn't resist buying these chips for Carl :-)

Bingo! Guess if the chips were hot... According to Carl, they were very, very spicy and good :-)

Without exaggerating, Carl is very used to eating hot chiles and sauces, so I do believe him :-) Here is a picture that is at least 4-5 years old...

Capsicum frutescens from India

Happy New Year!

I'm back from three weeks vacation in India. Replacing the lightless, cold, winter stress in Sweden with some relaxing days in Kerala. Now I'm thinking about which varieties to grow in 2012.

While in India, I found a frutescens growing next to the road on the way to the beach. The plant was almost leaning over the wall...

So I couldn't resist picking a pod....

It tasted more or less the same as malagueta or tabasco, but I really enjoy frutescens, so I think I will grow it this year.

Here I am with Carl on the beach :-)

Wishing you all a great weekend!
