Mike: Habanero Peppers are one of my favorite peppers. I love the citrus flavor and the heat that these peppers can bring. These habanero peppers were quite spicy for Habanero Peppers. If you find Jalapeno or Serrano Peppers spicy you should only sample a small amount of a Habanero pepper with your food until you check the heat. I am rating this pepper a 7 out of 10 on the heat scale.
Josh: These peppers are hot and horrible. I am rating this pepper a 10 out of 10 on the heat scale.
Whenever I travel, I am always on a mission to find spicy foods and peppers. I recently took a trip to the Mediterranean and visited Italy and Greece. While there, I wasn’t able to find any real spicy dishes, but I was able to find some peppers with a little heat and learn how to ask for spicy peppers in the local language. I normally learn how to say spicy pepper right after I learn bathroom!
This is a beautiful display of hot pepper bouquets in Venice. Peperoncino piccante is how you say spicy pepper in Italian. Most restaurants did not even have crushed red pepper flakes, but some restaurants had peppers to add. Below are pictures of the peppers that I was given to spice up my pasta.
These peppers were good!
In Greece, a hot pepperis called kafto peperi
In Greece, we seemed to get the same red peppers, only roasted. These were the only peppers we found in the Mediterranean until we bumped into a unique plant on someones porch on a Greek Island. I will tell you more about that in my next post.
I am very excited about the new book I am working on! I am about half way done and I know that all of you chileheads are going to love this book. I am writing a cookbook that has some awesome recipes that you can use daily in order to spice up your diet!
If you have not received a copy of my first book on spicy food, make sure you input your information on the website to get your copy. I will be contacting everyone who has received my other book as soon as the new one is complete!
Josh and I reviewed four salsas for Gunther’s Gourmet. We were part of a mulitple person review, so if you would like to see some other perspectives on these salsas visit:
We will also be posting reviews for the other two salsas in about a week once www.ILoveItSpicy.com has all of the videos compiled for the review.
We have new shirts that will be available soon and we will be adding an area to place orders on the site soon. The shirts will be available in black or white. We will also have some hats.
You may have seen the shirts in some of our videos. The first batch was gone before we even had them made. Click the link below to see what the shirts look like.
The new website is up and running, please feel free to let us know what you think!
You will now be able to click what video/post category you would like to see or search the website for old posts! These features are just to the right.
I am heading out to the Fiery Food Festival in Albuquerque, NM this weekend. Josh will not be joining me for this trip since he is not prepared for the hot sauce that will be at the show yet. Although, I am sure I will be bringing home many new sauces to review and I plan to record a lot of video footage.
Within the next couple weeks we will have our new website up and running which will have a more streamlined and all around nicer layout. I will let all of our subscribers know via email once we have the new site up and running.
Also, we have our new logo complete and our first round of shirts sold out before they arrived. Stay tuned, there will be many exciting changes coming in the near future.
Everyone who has been visiting the site and checking for new videos, make sure you sign up on the top left side of the page to receive an email whenever we post a new video. Your email address only goes to us and we will not give your address to anyone.
We had the best trial so far. The sauce was hot enough to make my eyes water and caused Josh to throw up. Somehow we lost the video when uploading to our computer and now the camera isn’t working. Josh is not looking forward to trying that sauce again!!
We are trying to salvage the video and getting a new camera. I just wanted to let everyone know why there hasn’t been any new trial posts in a couple weeks. We should have some new videos up soon!
