Yeah, I was hesitant at first but by the reaction here on the forum I figured I better try it. I brought some ribs and some ABT's, apperantly I need to bring more ABT's next time! lol As soon as one guy had em and went "OH MY GOD! YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY ONE OF THESE!" people were in a line to get to them.......I didn't even get one! Crying or Very sad

lol

My heat/pain level isn`t very high, i had my doubt`s also. But after i made my first batch. Oh gotta make more of these. Like all good foods people will tire of them in time, then blast them with a different variation, like add seafood or fish for meat or make em hotter than hell. Evil or Very Mad

Tell yer people first before ya serve them though. Oh its fun.

I tried ABTs last night. The recipe looked awesome and dang if all the response wasn't awesome on the boards. Unfortunately, the wife and I must be the exception to the rule, as we just could not get a taste for them. I think I am going to have to try them again in a few weeks and see if maybe they will grow on me.

Jefft and mding38926,
I agree, my insides don't like the outsides of ABT's however these are great.

Don't know if it was the heat that bothered you, but if it was just the taste, then maybe something went wrong. I mean, ABT's have been such a hit among everyone I know who tried them that I just can't imagine someone saying they didn't think they tasted good. I have known people that didn't like them because they don't like spicy food, and I have seen people that just flat out refused them because they knew they were spicy. But I've never seen someone say they didn't taste good.

Heck, it's so sad to think that someone doesn't like the taste of ABT's, it almost makes me cry. Kinda like that drop-dead gorgeous lady who I used to work with that said "I just don't understand why everyone's so big on sex. I just don't think it's that fun.". Shocked

I was married, she was married. But dang! Talk about a waste of a beuatiful lady! It still makes me cry to this day! Crying or Very sad

Steve-O.......definitely did use a thinner bacon and let it cook til it was crisp. For some reason it was surprisingly just not my cup of tea and no one is more surprised than I as my mouth was watering the whole time it cooked.

It's probably the cooked pepper taste that turns you off. Mom used to make stuffed green bell peppers, I liked the stuffing but couldn't stand the pepper. I like hot sauce in my filling which changes the flavor somewhat and it doesn't hurt to leave some vein & seeds in - it's like getting the door prise when you bite into one.

"it's like getting the door prise when you bite into one".

You said it there jim the last batch i made was hotter than hell, i left the vains in and just cut out the main vain and seeds. OOO boy dems was hot. Shocked

Been buying the same type and size of peppers from the same store all summer but dang dees was HOT Shocked

If you like the heat, you should try the Habaneros! Goes a little something like this...

Pop pepper in mouth... Rolling Eyes

Those little peppers can be suprising. One year I grew some chiltepin peppers, so when they had matured I started picking them and drying them. Absentmindedly I popped one in my mouth, how bad could it be right? Embarassed

I guess I better clarify that the habaneros I was eating were not whole raw habaneros. They were stuffed with mango/banana flavored cream cheese and roasted on the grill until nice and soft. So the seeds and veins were not present. I most definitely would not think of eating one if it still had the seeds and veins. I mean, for cripes sake, these stuffed ones really burn for a full 5 minutes, and you best not lick your lips or else you will not be happy about it! Shocked

They taste sooooo good though! It is a shame a habanero is so stinkin hot that you don't really get to get a good shot of it's flavor. It mingles really well with the mango and banana cream cheese!
