Hasn’t Ed developed another similar pepper named ‘Apollo’?

I don't know if it was Ed that developed Apollo, but that pepper supposedly has about the same scoville rating as pepper X

I’ve always preferred Serranos, and sometimes I’ll break one and take a little taste in the store, just to make sure they have enough heat!

When I make my breakfast potatoes, instead of chopped green pepper and onions, I use jalapeños and onions. Gives it a nice kick.

[who knows what evil?]

Great suggestion...I’ll pass it on to the cook. Thanks!

I've learned how to take a leak with my elbows =)

J/k, gloves are vital as you now know the hard way.

Never cared for jalapeños, not because of the heat or lack thereof but to me they just taste nasty.

Dried habanero flakes on my scrambled eggs, now that’s a treat!
