I dragged my DH on a "Food Safari" today. He had the day off from work, Trev
had the day off from school (it was closed for some lame reason) and I
needed to go to the supermarket.
First we went to the new one, called Weis. It is a wonderful supermarket.
They had the usual chiles - thai's, banana peppers and jalapenos. They also
sell Grandma Renfro's salsas. Haven't tried them yet but was wondering if
they are any good. I've seen them on the net. Was supposed to get a free
sample a few years ago and it never showed up. What's new?
On to Odd Job. Bought some Casa something or other mixed olives that had
chiles in it. Can't wait to try it on a muffaletta. They were also selling a
few kinds of hot sauce, mainly Louisiana types. Swamp something or other.
Last time I was there I also saw a bottle of Chef Paul's and didn't buy it.
Then to Shoprite. The usual stuff there but they also sell El Paso Chile
Company salsas. Didn't buy any but had one other stop
Went to the farmers market. There I saw something interesting. I never buy
jalapenos, especially when I have 8 kinds of chiles in the backyard. Didn't
this time either but still it was interesting. They had several kinds of
chiles. Thai's, Banana Peppers, Poblanos and....Jalapenos. But not just any
ordinary jals. They were HUGE. And RIPE. I have a question for those who
grow Biker Billy Jal's. Are they huge? If so, that is what these were. They
were HUGE. I actually was tempted to buy some. Didn't. DH would've killed me
after dragging him around all day. Plus we spent quite a bit of $$$.
Are the Biker Billy jals huge? And do they have good heat along with the
great jal flavor? Curious. I might have to go back to the farmers market.
