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!🥵

    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.

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.

    I use to suffer from huge loneliness feeling. And so I discovered that spicy food, especially when it burns, bring me some kind of presence inside me.
    There are natural foods, which give the pleasure of the raw nature
    There is salt, vinaigar, olive oil, which bring tastiness.
    And when it begins to be hot, it begins to fill your heart and warm your brain, with black pepper, hot red peppers.
    It works with others "painful" food, as French strong mustard, or Japanese wasabi.
    The gustative pain can be something like you do not feel the loneliness, and this is a sweat feeling when you do miss someone with you.

I did not realize the variety of food in that country. We ate Indian Food, the local food, any food. I have not seen Bertie's hot sauce for ever. It is incredible. One of my friends can handle the heat. BUT, when it came to the Scorpion pepper. He looked like a cartoon character bouncing off the walls. This video was a lot of fun. And I, with my German heritage, ate lots of Dat puddin'! Me and my friends are planning another trip. When the world's loony stuff is finished, its back to Quan Keps for more of that pork and puddin'!!!
