Cherry Bomb peppers

[Robert Lauriston]

Got some new-to-me Cherry Bomb peppers at the Bowl. Very odd: if you carefully trim the membranes and seeds from the flesh, they're literally not hot at all, like bell peppers, but if you use them whole, they're in the serrano / jalapeño range. Good flavor.

I grew these for the past few years. They're excellent pickled!!

Yes.

Nasty buggers. Some are mild as can be, others blow your head off. Tons of flavor if you gut them. I like them, a lot.

Had a searing experience with pimientos de padrón for the first time. Took a big bite and it was so hot my throat burned for 20 minutes. My lips were on fire too. I pile on jalapeños and hot salsa - this batch was no joke.
