I was trying to make a chop for Lincoln and well it didn't go well. I was trying out some peppers to literally spice it up a bit and I had an itch on my face. I thought I washed my hands well enough, I didnt. I really did not. 40 minutes of agony later and I feel good enough to go back to the chop and my mom's pretty much finished with it. Thank you mom.
In short: I now, to a degree, know what it feels like to be pepper sprayed.

I can't remember exactly what kind of pepper it was but it was small and orange.

Here's the other ingredients:
Oats
Quinoa
Lintel trio
Radish
Brocolli
Passion fruit
Yams
Pineapple

THose are Habenero pepper, and while they are very hot, Ghost peppers are much hotter. Saltys current chop had both kinds in it, plus every other kind of pepper I could find. I wore gloves when cutting and mixing everything

Right-on - you only have to make that mistake once!!! Gloves are a must! Also, no beak kissing after they eat the Chop!

Oh man, I can't even breathe when chopping hot peppers! And yes, gloves are always a must.

Kissing the beak thing....that happened to me once haha. Didn't know Jasper had just finished chomping down on a pepper and HOLY CRAP. Lips burned for hours!! Hahaha
