Wash, or your mouth will explode.) Its a common thing served with bhajiyas in gujarat. I recommend you skip the bhajiys, and eat the chillies with any meal. BTW.

I've had that very bag of Happy Quail Farms peppers on my own counter. But last year I finally started growing my own (I have a post about it <a href="http://swirlingnotions.com/2007/10/06/my-patch-of-padron-peppers/" rel="nofollow">here</a> This year I have eight plants in all and the first peppers are just starting to plump out. Seeing those shiny shriveled skins in your photos makes me impatient! :-) <blockquote>Growing your own pardrons? Wow, I am jealous! :) </blockquote> Great post!

I am not in love with these peppers. I find many others have far more flavour, but I am a ChileHead. <blockquote> :) yeah, if you are expecting chile spicy when you bite into this, then you are in for a disappointment...

:) yeah, if you are expecting chile spicy when you bite into this, then you are in for a disappointment… I love the subtle sweet flavor!
