Hi Carlos,
Ooh You're so right! Wish I'd taken the lot! Never mind ... even from the east coast, it's not toooooo expensive for us!
Something you might be able to help me out with..... long pepper.
Literally little long skinny, bumppy podish things.(Now, I bet there's a description you haven't heard/seen before!) I've ground the little suckers .... quite hard as they want to skid away....and, I have to say, it's a lot of work for not much reward ....... should I roast 'em first? Allegedly, they're peppery/chilli flavour.
