So there is this store in Boston.

That has veggies that I've never heard of.

Except the Turmeric and the Oyster mushroom. Never seen them fresh. Didn't buy any of that stuff.

And I founds these.

I bought these. I'm thinking about some spicy vinegar with these guys. Have to see just how hot they are. I'm reading 50,000 to 100,00 SHU.

A Bitter Melon is in the same family as Cucumber,BUT the name says it all. The stuff is BITTER! It's a vegetable common in Asian Cuisine, especially Chinese Dishes and gets stir-fried. Take a lot of Spice, Salt and Sugar to balance the bitter flavor. Fresh Turmeric is used in Indian Cuisine and some Asian Curry Pastes. It also used for its medicinal properties. Those Thai Chiles are pretty potent. Not Habanero hot but pretty warm. They do have a great flavor. They are an ingredient in Thai Red Curry Paste and an addition to many dishes...JJ

Thanks Jimmy. Didn't see your post before. So, it should make decent spicy vinegar I would guess. I'll find out in 2 days. I'll have a busy Wednesday between this, getting the CB smoked. And doing the Bloody Mary sticks.
