I bought Bhut Jolokia's seeds, plants and frozen peppers from Ravi (Toronto Craigslist) and the peppers were and continue to be amazing!! I have two plants that are continuously yielding peppers (right now I have about 6-10 peppers on each) no special lighting just next to a sunny window!! My peppers are super hot and super tasty.

Thank you all for your comments, I'm just soooo proud of my peppers that I can't even think of cutting them until I really have to. I actually cut a couple of them and I grilled them ( way hotter than anything I've tried) and I liked the flavour so much that once I cut them I will grill them and freeze them just like I do to my habaneros (got too many to eat them all) I actually took my plants last weekend (really warm temperatures in Toronto ) and it helped them now I can see the little peppers coming out. I love this plant it produces a lot of them and very easy to care! Now let's enjoy them!

I'm so proud of my peppers I almost don't want to eat them!

I'm happy to report that yesterday I bought 5 huge bunches from a street vendor right at the corner of Dundas and Spadina and I got two extra ones for free $1.00 a bunch. I'm soo happy, I'll be making a mexican stew yummmyyyy!!!

That is not outrageous at all ( I raided a forgotten planter in the Vaughan area three years ago ) and the purslane was yummy (crazy but worth it ) I'll keep you post it if I find it!

A cook from a very busy resto (still in business) told me that they kept the "al dente" pasta in containers and added olive oil to keep it moist

It's almost the end of Summer 2011 in Toronto, can anyone tell me where can I buy edible Purslane in TO?

kpaxonite - I just was there during the Grand Prix and I Really enjoyed my dinners regardless of the owner history ( I rather not know )

I got my two beautiful healthy plants, frozen peppers and an out of this world jolokia home made sauce from a great Toronto gardener. Thanks a million Ravi

I was at Queue de Cheval last summer for the first delicious time and just returned again for the best steak ever and the shrimp were delish too.

I saw my first Bhut Jolokia pepper is tiny but is finally coming out!!! Congrats pine time on your habanero harvest. I still have a pepper plant without any flowers and just huge green leaves that look like nothing I've ever grown!

I love Cava too, their menu is really different and yummy!

Thanks for the picture link (the gorditas look delish )

Mexican produce is just as good as Brazilian produce ( you will have a hard time finding hot peppers there )

There is a community garden at Dufferin Grove Park here is the link http://dufferinpark.ca/home/wiki/wiki...

Good luck!

La Veranda ( Royal York & Bloor ) To die for - Spicy shrimp appetizer and amazing cheese platter!

Thanks for the picture and easy explanation!

Where did you plant your habaneros? mine are on the ground ( huge plant and lots of flowers) and in pots ( also huge ) and they are growing like crazy. Are they getting enough sun? is it your first time growing habaneros?

Hi,

I have a few tomatillo plants ( flowering already )

Doce minho's bread is great but the cashier's sour attitude makes me go elsewhere for my portuguese breads and desserts!

Baton Rouge is pretty good too I had lunch today ( Ribs + Walnut Brownie with Vanilla Ice ) yummy and only steps away from Massey Hall.

I guess this would make the drive to Mississauga worth it for me. BTW is the Oaxaca cheese any good?

Thanks!

I live one block away from Rebozos and I love it but when I crave Tacos al pastor I go to el Trompo. Rebozos has really nice and authentic tacos and I love the Rosca de Reyes.

For AUTHENTIC Mexican food "Rebozos" on Rogers Rd. Not fancy but clean and really, really great food and nice owners.

I'm Mexican and I've eaten in a lot of the "Mexican" restaurants and I don't get it after reading all your favorable comments about this Salsas I rushed with my teenager to enjoy some great tacos and let me tell you WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! The double dry tortilla was horrible and crumbly ( straight from the freezer ) the "Pastor" had no taste and the tinga was somehow edible. I could not eat them and left the stablishment to eat the BETTER Al Pastor Tacos "El Trompo"
