My apologies good sir. What I should have asked is "how hot dem mo-f-in peppas??"lmao, you can go to a cocktail party and ask 30 people what the "Scoville" scale is. One might be able to answer. That is some kahnoledge.

Yes, It's a Dominican word, a Puerto Rican word, a Mexican word, a Colombian word, a Costa Rican word, a Honduran word, a Venezuelan word - on and on and on.I asked my Dominican wife: Same kind of answer as Mr. AE... she said that's Dominican word. She actually stopped for a moment when I asked and said "you mean "picante"?
see my post #20 belowPica is hot, pretty much anything hot. Picante is the sauce. Now, why is pica used in Pica Pollo?

Both Baldom and Ranchero(Dominican brands) make salsa picante. It can be found in all the supermarkets. I doubt they're making it just for us gringos.But apparently not in the DR. Lots of people commenting on the blandness of Dominican cuisine and the lack of using hot (spicy) condiments...etc. A lot of bird peppers grow wild here and they are used in a sauce that people used on their quipe and empanadas...etc. Packs a good punch.
Cayenne is fine, but habaneros I no longer can do. Another symptom of old age.Also, both cayenne peppers and habaneros are grown and sold in the supermarkets here.
They also sell ones that look almost exactly like habaneros but they are marked "ajis gustosos" that are not as picante.Cayenne is fine, but habaneros I no longer can do. Another symptom of old age.
Yes I know the SHU references. I do not sell anything. What I don't use I give away. BTW Who is Budda? Never heard of the man.Glad to see you pondering life's enigmas John. The Buddha taught we should not preoccupy ourselves with such things.

Btw, do you have a Scoville reference for these peppers? Do you grow them for your own consumption or do you sell
You can't be serious(?).Yes I know the SHU references. I do not sell anything. What I don't use I give away. BTW Who is Budda? Never heard of the man.

These I've only heard called ajies gustozos. The habaneros are similar but more roundAre those the same as what Dominicans call cachucha peppers?View attachment 8516
They sell them in the supermarket but grow them elsewhere...I think?Also, both cayenne peppers and habaneros are grown and sold in the supermarkets here.
Thanks. I will have to look for those.They also sell ones that look almost exactly like habaneros but they are marked "ajis gustosos" that are not as picante.
They're sold in the supermarkets in those small styrofoam trays, then wrapped with cellophane, weighed, and priced in the store. That's typical of produce grown here. I've never seen imported produce packaged like that.They sell them in the supermarket but grow them elsewhere...I think?
