Diversity in it’s excellence☺️the best part though was the chilli farm and eating these super hot fruits, just amazing! As a long-time chilli grower (yes in Scotland!) I was totally enthralled as I’m currently growing same/similar superhots as well as mild/medium heat chillies right now…some I’ll freeze most I’ll dry and grind to powder….like Mark I love my heat!🥵

Mauritius is undoubtedly beautiful, and so warm and gracious. However, with no bias, Trinidad and Tobago is on a different level. The similarity ends with the mix of races. Each Island has developed their own dynamic of meshing. TnT is truly one of a kind.

    After watching this video, I ordered a bottle of Berties pepper sauce. I have a fairly high tolerance for spice heat (not like Mark has though), I found it very flavorful with a bit of a vinegar taste, the heat was a lower medium for me. I tried to order the scorpion sauce, but they were out. It is also a bit on the expensive side at 12.99 for 300ml.

      they have a type of pepper from Jamaica , its small and round like a cranberry but its super spicy , its probably one of the hottest peppers , I tried it once and it was way too hot , I forgot what its called but its round and its red , looks like a berry
      I made a traditional Jamaican pepper sauce with it , it had some carrots and mangos and it blow my mind , it was good , I'm going to make another batch when I get time , I think organic apple cider vinegar is the best vinegar for hot sauce , gives it a nice kick
