    Question GIANT MONSTER Chili Pepper !!!

    I brought some of these Chilies fresh from California and saved the seeds.
    I am not sure, but think it may be a huge Mexican variety and let me tell
    you they are fiery hot!!! If you handle the seeds your hands/skin will burn close to an hour no matter how many times you wash them with soap, so
    definitely not a variety of Bell Pepper. Anyway, I was intrigued by the size and decided to plant some of the seeds I had saved as no such monstrous chilies exist here in Thailand... Here the result after about a year!
    The chilies are dark green until they reach full maturity when they turn RED!
    The one illustrated here is over 6 inches long (15 cm.!) and covers the full
    length of my hand. Does anyone know the name/ID of this variety? Thanks.

    Cheers, Michael
