Bloody good, those Pimientos de Padrón!

Pimientos de Padrón, Pementos de Padrón en Gallego...Padrón peppers from Spain are my very favorites. Many know that. They come from Padrón, 23 km from Santiago de Compostela.
and there is every year also Padrón fiesta, which takes place in Herbon in August. By the way, thanks for Spain sending me seeds of Padrón peppers the other day. So finally the Padrón peppers have arrived to Finnish supermarkets in Helsinki! At least to one of them.

Those in Helsinki, visit the Supermarket in the former post office, there they are waiting for you to take and eat. They are quick and easy to prepare. Unos pican, otros no - some "bite" some not...

Actually I ate them in Finland for the first time last year, in one or two restaurants. And for the first time ever in my life more or less 15 years ago in Santiago de Compostela. Those ones in a restaurant in Helsinki were tos spicy, all too spicy. Those in Santiago fine "y solamente unos se picaron como la manera". Maybe those ones in the restaurant in Helsinki had been bought from Morocko, where they cultivate them too. and couple of years ago I found Padrón peppers also in Bern Switzerland, and prepared them for me there too. Of course. Gosh!

So it took from Padrón peppers 5 years to climb up even from the Switzerland to the very north of Europe, that is Finland...
