Title: Rude chillies - don't look if easily offended
Post by: Squash64 on August 20, 2009, 17:46:27: Someone sent me this photo today, not sure if it's already been posted on here but in case it hasn't - here are some rude chillies ;)

I thought it was a joke at first but googled it and they are genuine.

Guess what I'm going to grow next year.....

Post by: Sparkly on August 20, 2009, 17:50:21: They vary, some do! Worth growing for a laugh though as they make a good talking point. I gave some plants away to some of the other teachers at work so we could discuss how well the willy chillies were doing!

Post by: Sholls on September 07, 2009, 23:59:59: I used to grow some yellow ones for the amusement of my (male) flatmates... Apparently, watching girls dunk them in sour cream was highly amusing. ::)

The (other) downside? Almost tasteless... :(

I second that Sholls, rubbish taste, a novelty chilly only. Mine were never as phallic as the picture!

Post by: Epiphany on May 01, 2010, 22:47:50: I'm trying to get some seeds for these. Is anyone growing any or have some seeds I could buy? I want to give a plant to a couple of guys at work as a "House-Warming" present, and I think my partner and brother in law (who both grow chillis) would be amused by them too!!
