I goofed BADLY last year whilst making chili for the TBD tailgate.
@Beerballsent me a couple Carolina Reaper peppers. I froze them/saved them for making chili. When it came time to make the chili, for some reason I had myself convinced that they were habaneros.
I made two small batches of chili ... one mild; one hot. I sliced/added both of the peppers to the hot batch.
Literally inedible. And again ... I enjoy very hot stuff. I did bring it to the tailgate, but once I heated it up and took a spoonful, I realized that I couldn't serve it to others. Into the garbage it went. For over a year, I wondered what made those "habaneros" so hot. Then, at the Steelers/Bills game earlier this season, Beerball reminded me that they were Carolina Reapers. That's when it finally clicked.
