In Season: Wirri Wirri Peppers

Wirri Wirri Peppers are a kind of cherry pepper found in Barbados and throughout the Caribbean. Many locals claim that they are 'hot fuh days' (meaning very very hot). Aside from the heat, these peppers have a great flavor to them and are included in a variety of dishes including white rice, fish, chicken, pork, stew and the list goes on! Also, pepper wine, which is a wine made from sherry infused with Wirri Wirri peppers, is a favorite among locals and visitors. A drop (literally) can be added to soups, broths or stews for a added kick (of flavour).
