OK, just kidding, but I was at my local ( small ) grocery store today. They carry a lot of local produce, but not much in the way of hot peppers, other than jalapenos. They sometimes have habaneros for $6.99 a pound. But that is the extent of it, until today, when I saw they had Ghost Peppers! But they were in a plastic box, so I knew they would be expensive....
$4.99 for 3 or 4 peppers! I took them to the scale, and with the plastic box, they were just a smidge under 4 ounces.
I grow Bhut Jolokias. They usually put out a good amount of fruit.... I eat or give mine away.... but at $20 a pound, I might have to become a ghost pepper farmer.
On a side note, I was out near Lancaster, PA on Friday, and saw a huge amount of gorgeous habaneros at the Shady Maple grocery store.... for 39 CENTS a pound..... I bought 5 pounds for under 2 bucks.... and I pickled them.
