These things are absolutely delicious:
If you’ve been to a Baja Fresh, these are the little neon yellow chili peppers they have at the salsa bar (or similar enough that I can’t tell the difference). When I lived in DC, my Baja Fresh visits consisted of a burrito, a soda refill, and about 900 of these things.
They’re not that easy to find…I’ve found them at some but not all Stop and Shops up here in MA. A larger store with a decent gourmet/international section should have them.
Warning: they pack a punch. The flavor is more akin to a pepperoncini than a dry chili; it’s pickled in vinegar, after all. It will burn after a few. By which I mean, it hurts ME, and anybody who knows me knows I can handle fairly spicy food. Beware.
Hey, not every blog entry is going to be about operations management theory. A guy’s gotta eat.
