Food Photography: the red hot time of the year

Hi there my Hivean friends and followers!

When I was living in the tropics, I would eat lovely fresh jalapenos and habaneros literally every day. I totally fell in love with these hot chili peppers in Mexico and I miss them so much here in Europe. This time of the year (I mean late summer / early fall), however, is when the chilies are available here too and I waste no opportunity to get them of course :)

In some of the past years, I was even lucky to try some of the really brutal chili cultivars such as the Trinidad Scorpion or the Carolina Reaper because one of my friends back in my Czech hometown grew them and sometimes, he would take a few pieces to the pub for us to have some extra fun (and burn :D) and boy, those were funny and hot nights out! :D

This year, I´m here in Prague where, apparently, none of my local friends grow their own chilies so I have to settle for what I can get in the supermarket but in fact, I was nicely surprised by the offer over there. Look what I just got there.

These beautiful red habaneros (all 4 of them) were offered at a discounted price of just 15 Czech Crowns (approximately $0.60) and they were really good. I think the price was reduced because the vast majority of the Czech people cannot handle such spicy stuff so I don´t really have much competition when shopping for these things here :D

The package said the chilies were imported from Morocco and like I already said, there were really good. Amazing citrus-like taste and very strong pungency. I´m actually writing about the peppers in the past tense already because, well, they are all gone by now :D Before eating them though, I took these pictures for this post :)

How about you guys? Do you like these super hot chili peppers? What was the spiciest you have tried so far? Let me know in the comment section below!
