Topic: Peppery green chillis

[fried]

Calling all chilli experts.

I recently bought some green chillis which aren't available where I live. I get these from around Gare du nord in Paris which isn't too far but I like to keep a bag in the freezer for emergencies.

The last batch I bought has a really peppery after taste, not unpleasnt but strong. I noticed it when I first made an omelette with them but put it down to the copious amount of black pepper I use. I've noticed that I can still taste it the morning after I've eaten them.

The shop I go to has a couple of varieties of green chilli, one slightly smaller than the other and at different prices. These were the smaller of the two most between 20-30mm. All the shops are Tamil, although I don't know if that makes a difference to the supplier.

I've never noticed this before and maybe it's due to freezing them or a specific chilli variety. Or possibly the onset of some sort of ageing dementia.

Any thoughts?

Hmm, I have noticed an odd morning-after tingling myself on a few occasions after visiting the Gare du Nord, but my GP gave me some medication that normally clears it up within a few weeks . . .
