Using a Chinese ornamental chile plant with pods only 10 mm in length and a diameter of 2 - 3 mm, the author of «Das
Chili Pepper Buch» and «
Chili Barbecue» built a
ristra that's only 3.15 inches (8 cm) long.
We purchased Napa cabbage (that found its way into a salad and a soup), carrots and potatoes (made into soup),
ristras, green
chili powder, homemade tortillas and some delicious summer sausage and pepperoni.
