I've never really been much of a chef, although I do quite enjoy cooking. Since I started trying my hand at it seriously chilli has become my go-to dish, not least because of the fantastic recipes posted in this forum. Trouble is, living in England makes it borderline impossible to get any kind of decent spices (You wouldn't believe my surprise and delight when I actually found a packet of chipotles in the supermarket!). So, I figured, how hard can it be?  Even getting the seeds for these was an exercise in frustration, but I got there in the end. See also: terrible handwriting. Oh, and never let it be said that I do anything by halves.  (Habanero, cayenne, jalapeno, poblano, chilaca, mulato, anaheim and some variety called ring of fire that they gave me for free. Google tells me it's a variety of cayenne.) Assuming they survive my dead and blackened thumb for the six months or so it'll take them to grow and fruit, I'll try posting some cooking logs using them.

Jose posted:Where in England are you? Newcastle at least has a fantastic shop for anything related to mexican cooking you will need. All of it is available online but its nice to buy from a proper shop Just outside Bristol, so pretty much at the other end of the country  . There's probably one or two speciality shops around here somewhere, but after a while of searching I decided it was easier to just order them online. The chillies themselves are the only really hard part to find anyway, unless you want to insist on using things like that Mexican cooking chocolate I forget the name of instead of plain chocolate.

GrAviTy84 posted:Some of those need a steady temperature above 75 or so to germinate, namely the habs. Some people get heating pads or hot lamps. Just a thought. Handily, I'm keeping them in the same room as my tropical spider which also needs to stay above 75 or so. The habs have germinated and started putting down little feathery roots!
