Being a confirmed chili head & having been either underwhelmed or disappointed by other commercially produced "spicy" pickles, your scorpion dills have been a revelation. In the past, my choices would often be limited to either to bread & butter style pickles, which I don't like, or pickles that simply didn't burn as advertised. But now, my search has come to an end with your masterful creation! Far from simply being hot for the sake of being hot, the balance of solid dill pickle flavor & fiery but manageable heat is PERFECT. While I love "the burn" as much as any pepper-obsessed freak, it NEVER overwhelms that great dill pickle flavor that also makes me a pickle connoisseur. I was going to try some on a cheeseburger, but I polished off the whole jar before they could even sniff being a part of some meaty, cheesy goodness. In fact, I've even resorted to snacking on the left over scorpions- AND THOSE ARE DELICIOUS, TOO! This leaves me with only two questions before I go:
- Any plans to start offering an even larger jar, say 22-24 oz?
-Have you ever given any thought to producing pickled superhot pepper slices? I've so far only managed to find a handful of anything hotter than a jalapeno or a serrano in heat out there. Would love to be able to make myself a plate of habanero or scotch bonnet nachos. Just a thought! In the meantime, keep it up with your delicious creations- you've created a forever fan right here!
