The Wild Chiltepin Pepper -Primitive Foraging and Survival Food- 

We see similar ones in Phoenix, but more pointed...

😋😋😋 That's what I was thinking to do with it .where I came from Thi's how we enjoy them pickles the green one then trow the salty water out and add oil and make chilli sauce with the Red one .🇺🇲🇲🇺

You are absolutely right. We put it in vinegar and use the vinegar to kick things up a notch. Have a few more flavors to mess with this year. More plans for sure.

WE have a few bottles as well. Give them away as Christmas gifts on wet years. Something distinctly Texan for sure.

One of my Spanish friends told me that they grow all over Puerto Rico also. He loves it when I give him some.

Spice is the variety of life ; )

I'm glad for all of the support. It's pretty unexpected on a silly wild pepper video. Appreciate it, we'll keep it up.

You'd have to be more specific. Many of these things I learned and implemented over the years, but didn't give much thought to... having to pick through my day to day and pull out those things that are less than mainstream. I'd be interested in exploring your question further.

You are right. I should provide more details. One of the limits in hiking/camping/survival is how much you can haul. In the case of survival, you haven't had a chance to prepare food. So, you can extend the time you can hike and camp by living off the land. In survival it is imperative to know what you can gather to eat. Most people talk exclusively about protein gathering. Almost no one talks about what plants can be identified as edible. My idea is you have presented the peppers for flavor. Most other plants are will taste like cardboard. So adding an ad-hoc spice will make them more enjoyable. While taking some of the sting out of the hardship of survival. Maybe you could identify 3 or 4 plants that grow around most of the United States. So how to identify them. And show a couple of ways of preparing them so they taste edible. I think that your Yucca video was a step in the right direction. But didn't go far enough.

beageek2 Gotcha. I'll have to do some research as most of my knowledge is directly related to the south. I am working on a salt acquisition video, but it's going to be dynamic and will require some travel. Appreciate the advice, definitely on the list.

The heat lasted for less than 10 minutes... but it fels like someone if pourinf boiling water down your throat, or using sand paper on your windpipe. Had no idea that it had a nick name like that. Makes sense.

10 minutes would be good with the reapers and scorpions. They are torture. As hot as I like is a Jalapeno or Serrano, Tabasco at times.

One in the same.

fasthandsmalone Chilltepin is round and Chillepiquine is oval shape

The fats and oils in dairy products dissolve capsicum as efficiently as alcohol without the side effect of gaining a buzz. I'm not quite ready to hand over my science degree. Better luck next time ; )

just going with what a scientist said

i can not say as i avoid cap.like the plague IM DEATHLY ALLERGIC TO IT

That's no good. Cant imagine life without cholula.

Less than 10 minutes usually. During that time though... feels like sandpaper or hot oil is being applied down your throat.

Crazy usually wins the dare, or a trip to the hospital ; )

Wife had a hard time keeping it together as well.

Possible. I see some decorative chilis at times... but they are not at all the same. Aught to try growing some indoors. I've a three year old plant that lives in one of the windows. It's almost 5ft tall now and loos like a miniature tree.

cool, must be nice to live in the heat...yeah, they were probably decorative. i spent a lot of time overseas and chilies are essential there, so always looking for a variety that i can keep at home and that is edible. more research...

MonkeyspankO It is an easy one and it is woody. I definitely recommend.

I can't grow enough of these, my friends are always asking for tepin flakes.

@@ryanmccabe1036 are they less spicer dried out?

@@flippatheshippa Not in my experience. Although putting flakes on food is quite different than eating the whole pepper.

pepper

Interesting 🧐

There's so much out there. Enjoying sharing this stuff, and getting to make some good connections and friends along the way that teach me a thing or two as well. Thanks for watching senior.

@@BobHansler oii

texas

xXAngelmlXx I live in southern cali I got a big plant gives me hundreds of chillis

They aren't as spicy as this guy says they are.

Bullshit these are spicy

Working on some of that.

Image really pops. There is a beauty to each season. Might have to post a few scenic vids at some point.

Chiltepin is not pequin or piquin is different. I grew a good amazingly spicy ones, now im growing jolokia and Trinidad

Surgery coming up, bad timing. I'll get my daughter to look for them and see if they came up this yar

Bob Hansler , sending you prayers brother, hoping for a great outcome on your surgery. No worries your health comes first.
