Ten years ago when we were living in the cabin and building our home up on the hill, I had a small garden. Was growing corn, radishes, hot peppers, bell peppers, etc.
Every morning, I would take the dogs and walk up the road to the top of the mountain where our house was being built. One day, I stopped at the garden (which is on the way up to the building site) and was admiring the hot peppers. They were growing nicely. So I snapped one off and took a nibble on the end. It was so sweet and I thought I had really hit a home run with these guys. So I took my pepper and started walking back up to the site.
Thinking it was going to be more of the same, I took a big ol bite, about half of the pepper. All was good for about 5 seconds and suddenly my mouth was on fire. There was no way to save myself, I was in trouble deep. No water, nothing to help stop the fire, and the house was 1/4 mile away.
So lesson learned. The pepper is sweet but the seeds are (extreemely) hot! Will never do that again!
