Tomorrow, we go to a friend’s house with five others for a four-night stay to bring in the New Year. We are taking a prawn salad to share on Friday night and we went shopping this morning to buy what we needed.
One thing we needed was a red chilli and apparently the one we picked was the hottest they have. We only needed one and they were available loose so we popped one in a bag and off we went to the check-out. It cost us 2c! I guess it’s just lucky we bought a few other things as well.

It’s a nice looking pepper. I’m sure it will add good flavor.

@JudyEv Make sure to get all of the seeds washed out. Seeds hold most of the heat.

That would be funny and awkward if it was your only purchase, but if you need it, you need it.

I would have just left the chilli out, especially as I don't like it.

Chilli can be easy to plant. Perhaps you can plant your own chilli and you can have it any time you like. I remember I bought chilli magnet on the freezer when I travelled to Thailand. That's amazing I could get seeds from it and then it can even grow up

That chili surely felt honoured that it was picked - one among so many.
We do not use red chilies in salads.

@JudyEv Here is the hottest chili in the world. You can ask Vince to use it next

In the end, we didn't add it to the salad. We didn't think anyone would like it much.

Bargains when you shop are great.

We're sharing our dishes this evening. Maybe I'll end up eating someone else's.

We call them siling labuyo. They're small but very hot. It's ironic that they can get pretty expensive here, and yet, they're easy to grow and already ready to pick.

2c only for a red chilli? That's a good deal. And they allow you to buy just one. Normally, you need to buy more if the items are on sale.
