Cooking Mexican Food

[Takiap]

On the chili front. The hottest are actually grown in the UK (believe it or not)

Correct, ...................but!

This article made me chuckle this morning. There's a Dorset naga grown in England that are meant to be hotter than these and I think that's what Richard is talking about.

This is supposedly the hottest chili in the world:

Report: India Weaponizing Hot Chili Peppers

India's turning to a natural resource to develop its next non-lethal weapon — super-hot chili peppers.

The country's defense researchers are looking for ways to use the spicy items as ingredients in hand grenades that could be used in riot suppression and counter-insurgency operations, Asia Times reported.

The "hotness" of peppers is rated on something called the Scoville scale, which measures how much pepper extract has to be diluted before no more piquancy is detected.

An ordinary bell pepper rates as zero, a jalapeno rates about 5,000 and a habanero at roughly 400,000 — but India's naga jolokia strain, also called the bhut jolokia, comes in at a whopping 1,000,000.

That's the one India's defense researchers want to use.

"It will be useful in forcing militants out of their hideouts," R.B. Srivastava, director of life sciences in India's Defense Research and Development Organization, told Asia Times.

Srivastava added that the chili pepper might also serve to deter a constant threat to Indian Army jungle encampments: marauding elephants.

"Elephants are scared of the bhut jolokia and they stay away from it," he told the newspaper. "We are thinking of applying a coat of bhut jolokia paste on nylon ropes along the boundary walls of army camps."

They are very hot, as my wife can attest too. Michael and Joy Michaud (I think Michael is American or maybe Canadian)) live at West Bexington in Dorset and close enough for us to drive there and collect these Naga chillies.

The wife loves chillies but the Naga is a match for her love of "the burn" as she calls it.

I call them, bloody PET.

Can you find tomatillos in Thailand?

[migrant]

I always like walking through the markets, and looking. I never have seen tomatillos.

I would imagine growing them should work out.

Good, authentic, Mexican food is one thing I would miss when we move. Too spoiled here in Southern California.

I can do a pretty good job cooking myself, but still different than the Mexican hole in the wall restaurants here.

Can you find tomatillos in Thailand?

yes, but they are now very rare due to over eating of them in the 70's.

last visit to Kao Yai park had me waiting up all night to try and catch a glimpse of one, only to fall asleep and miss what my GF said was an amazing experience. she said she had them eating out of the palm of her hand as i snored merrily next to her.

she didnt even think of waking me up to see the spectacular sight.

never mind.
she still believes an elephant stole her last currant bun.

LOL, you must really love Mexican food. Or you have been dipping into some peyote...

I miss proper Mexican food here in the UK.

I have never tasted a male but I can't imagine anything tasting better than a female!
