Haven't really been saying much about this garden, largely because I've been neglecting it.
I've got a whole bunch of nearly foot long (but curved/bent) kung paos on this thing. I figure I'll harvest them soon, cut them into half inch pieces and dry them for use in stir fry. For reference, pretty much looks like a cayenne.
But the special of the day is my FIRST RIPE Aji Pineapple:
I just love that color. Closely related to the Aji Lemon Drops that I've been fretting over, but not next to my bed so I don't look at the plant as often.
First nibble from the end:
Very sweet, and a sort of interesting taste.
Seems hotter than I want to eat raw, so I'm going to cut the placenta out for the remainder of the taste test.
Unfortunately, and I've read this before, it has a slightly soapy aftertaste that removes from the whole experience.
But, as I said, I love the color, and it will probably play well with the lemon drops and Bulgarian carrots in either a hot sauce or a salsa.
