Years ago in Palenque, Mexico. I met an Australian who told me that they were growing all kinds of mangoes, and that essentially we should not bother about thinking Goan mangoes were the best. The same with some other fruits.
Now, here we have this "chilli victory" by them. In understand the rapaciousness, although many may see it as simply an advantage to the one who aims the hardest. But there is something to be said in this day age on a few fronts: 1. For whatever reason, we take our time, are often unaware how the world sees things--even though we want a piece of the pie. 2. Its quite amazing that people in the field/ grassroots/ entrepreneurs are rarely fed information by Govt Bodies who one would think follows trends, research, and factor India's dynamic strengths with that of/ quality of what is produced by other countries. 3. Perhaps our concerns are simply different. I guess the company either simply grew the chilli in Australia, or altered it and gave it the name Butch T. If its the same chilli as in Assam, then I would think its a lie, or whatever its called in such situations. Was the award for a chilli sauce or just the chilli pepper? +++++++++++++ venantius j pinto > Message: 1 > Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2012 19:38:24 +0100 > From: Gabe Menezes <[email protected]> > Subject: [Goanet] Chilli used by Indian army in weaponry is hot > property for poor farmers > (DEL) > While business is booming, the latest edition of the Guinness Book of > Records brought a cruel blow to Assam, when bhut jolokia was usurped as the > hottest chilli by an Australian upstart, the Trinidad Scorpion Butch > T<http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-1/hottest-chili/>. > Then in February this year, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion took the Butch T's > crown in tests run by experts at New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper > Institute< > http://news.yahoo.com/trinidad-moruga-scorpion-wins-hottest-pepper-title-015457622.html > > > . > >
