Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Be careful with that Carolina Reaper. Unlike most of the other really hot peppers, Carolina Reaper doesn’t start fading within a few minutes. I have had it once, and half an hour later I was still in pain.

Last week I was visiting my son in Rancho Cucamonga and we went to a taco truck fair near his place. He bought some birria tacos that were the best tacos I have ever had. A couple who ran their own condiment business had a table set up. Among other things they were selling a Caribbean hot sauce made from scorpion peppers. Very good flavor, and although it packs a punch, it’s not at the painful level you get with Carolina Reaper.

Seeing everyone with their ‘17 horn, I had to pull mine out today.

Today, I violated the tenets of TEWsday to my own peril. I could've picked any of the Taylor's lambs I've got and been much less frustrated.

This M. May lamb is a disappointment. A gap that runs nearly its entire length, a squishy action halfway through the pull, a tip shape that I struggle to see as a lambfoot, and - while solid when unfolded, when closed the blade rattles against the liners so profoundly that I'm tempted to press it into service as a maraca for an impromptu rendition of "Cuban Pete."


I'll probably wind up taking it apart at some point to see if I can put it back together better than it was the first time around. 😤 (Edit: I probably couldn't do worse... chick-chicky-boom)

Sorry to hear mate.

Is it a new knife or one of his older pieces? I’ve been tempted to get one of his but have not as of yet. Maybe I’m better off not.

Nice
I grew caroliner reapers a couple of years ago. I had just over half of 1 on a pizza, you could see the sweat running 😬😄
A lady that worked for my wife was from Nepal, she used to take them and her family loved them.

Can't agree, as owners of a small business you can't ignore social media and use modern delivery services such as UBER eats, menu log.
You need a Facebook page & representation on social media platforms. As much as I don't like them, you can't ignore them or it will damage your business. It's the modern version of Word of mouth on a much greater scale.

That's no good.
Contact him and at least give him a chance to remedy the problems.

I hate social media (BF excluded) which is why I don’t have any other than this. Contrary to the usefulness of Facebook for businesses it’s also a bloody nightmare for those that don’t use Facebook.
They changed it a couple of years back that you can’t really navigate through business pages without an account

Hmmm...:rolleyes: I'm sure his employers are concerned about their standing on social media, but the manager, and whoever was in the kitchen that day, (the kitchen is on the first floor, and ordinarily, you can see them cooking, but yesterday, the shutters were down, and I think the food had been microwaved), clearly don't :rolleyes:

Hard not to laugh at your entertaining prose Will, but that's a frustrating, and familiar, situation :( That said, it's a great pic ;) :thumbsup:

Good morning guardians, got our first chicken of spring yesterday. There was another trying to work its way out when I locked them up last night. Hopefully it managed to get out.

A few folks here have done that in the past, and received little more than BS, I'm afraid :( If it's a new knife, I'd be inclined to ask for a refund, and have done with the bloke. Or just put it down to experience :thumbsup:

I hate that Jack. Hard to take a business seriously, if they can't manage to set up a website, in addition to their FB, Instagram, Twitter, and whatever else is out there (and none of which I have) :thumbsup:

Thanks mate 🙂 I would have tried for a clearer shot but the little tacker kept trying to leap off my hand and mum was also voicing her lack of consent.

I know we don’t discuss the buying of knives here but I appreciate the above feedback regarding that maker. You have potentially saved me some hard earned money 👍🏼

As said I don't like it ether but being in the hospitality industry. You are crazy not to.

That's a shame I've never had any dramas with custom makers touch wood. Ah well Brian is quality 😉

If Hannah and I are visiting somewhere and tossing up between a couple of restaurants and one has a website that’s where we go.

I’m like an old stick in the mud, I think the negative sides of things like Facebook far outweigh any positives. But anyway that’s another rabbit hole we don’t need to go down…here’s another lamb photo 🙂
