Why combine poblanos and anchos, but separate jalapenos and chipotles?
Philemon 1 verse 25 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
bro some photo and video up to display. you should be careful to make video
There are so many sweet peppers with no heat why are you trying to scare people away from peppers🤦🏾♀️
"Mole" (1 syllable) is an ugly brown spot on the skin. "Mo-lay" (2 syllables) is the edible paste!!
Nice video man!
Hot peppers are my favorite except for some. I like it mild not extremely hot hot
Trash video, wrong on the very first pepper. Bell pepper’s have zero heat, but they are not the only pepper with zero heat.
The narrator should learn how to pronounce the names of the peppers.
You forgot the Moruga Scorpion Pepper from Trinidad😢
Just say Bar B Q when say BBQ you sound weird😂😅
What about the South-African pepper called Peppadew...its a small red pepper.
The red pepper is a red pepper not a green pepper. The green pepper is an under ripened red pepper
Poblanos are so expensive in my local, I've taken to growing my own. Same with red bells. Jalapenos and serranos are cheap enough (so far) I don't have to grow them.
Dude, nice pepper content, but why did you call birch tree a bitch?😂
I was late by 1 minute 😭😭 bruv
