I've also tried "ulupicas" - the latest is a larger fruited variety said to be c. eximium var pendulum. don't knbow whether these names have any scientific validity. It's really good, fleshy with an aromatic taste. grows into a tall bush. <br /><br />I shared a house with a guy that would insist on making very hot curries. He fried his own spices, including chillies. It was like being in the trenches in the first world war - so I too know that capsaicinoid receptors are present in the lungs.Rhizowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898344291012563139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1710169082937042837.post-86068344702108510692010-01-27T11:36:43.842-05:002010-01-27T11:36:43.842-05:00*headsmack* Those peppers are dangerous.

Then I rubbed my eye.<br /><br />More recently, a hot-sauce loving friend made his own fiery death sauce, and learned the hard wear that goggles are a must.<br /><br />Be careful!Michelle Clayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13740702104128263822noreply@blogger.com
