Quadrille: pass the pepper please 


HOT LIKE HELL

Someone picked peppers by peck. 

So i read a long time ago. 

That's quite a mouth full of peppers to speak. 

I wonder, 

Were there any scorpion peppers in that peck.

Here in Trinidad and Tobago, it is those brave, who would taste it.

The Trinidad Moruga scorpion (Capsicum chinense) is a chili pepper native to the village of Moruga, Trinidad and Tobago. In 2012, New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute identified the Trinidad Moruga scorpion as the hottest chili at that time, with heat of 1.2 million Scoville heat units (SHUs).

    A fun twist on the tongue twister, Gillena! My sensitive digestive system couldn't cope with any peppers, let alone a mouthful! And what on earth are scorpion peppers?

    A good one. No they were all pickled! Like some folks on Memorial Day here in the US.

    In your words, the Scorpion Pepper dances,
    Its intensity ignites taste bud romances.
    Fearless souls embracing its fiery reign,
    Culinary explorers push limits, unchain.
    Reminder to embrace bold flavors' allure,
    Seek new experiences, tastes pure.
    Thanks for inspiring flavorful quests,
    Where excitement, exhilaration manifest.

    I'd eat it if you made it. It was told to me as a tongue twister, I don't think I ever read it.

    Scorpion peppers sound really fierce!

    Like Jim, I remember being taught to recite 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper ' etc.
