I don't put it on my breakfast cereal, but I do use smoked ground up scorpion pepper as a seasoning to put on pretty much anything that isn't supposed to taste sweet. I know a guy, so I buy it by the mason jar.
do you grow your own or have a supplier? i would like to purchase said smoked ground up scorpion pepper seasoning please
I don't grow my own. I've tried a couple times and failed. When I need more, I ask my friend to go get it from his friend, who grows and smokes and grinds it. I've never actually met the guy.
gotcha. i have so many questions, like "why smoke it? is it not earthy enough? which wood"
Don't have a lot of answers for you. I do a lot of cooking, so I'd guess the answer to why is that it adds a nice smoke flavor, like how you can buy smoked paprika, and that it would make for a fairly quick and easy drying process so it can be ground up. By the taste, I'd guess he just uses oak. If I got to pick, I'd say apple would be nice.
oh good. i use apple, grey oak and peach
I know many people don't have a yard or time to do so, but they aren't too hard to grow, even in Minnesota, if you're willing to do it yourself. A 10 gallon pot can grow more than enough to last a year, though I find that 7-pot peppers tend to produce more pods for some reason.
Y'all gotta listen to better music
