(Mike enters contest, bites one pepper, anounces that he lost, drinks beer) :3:

Some time ago I made salsa with Habeneros. I used 5 for about a quart of salsa, and let me tell you, with the first taste test from some people I gave it to, all faces immediately turned red. Literally. It was just hilarious. One of these days I'll have to try again. A co-worker grows them so I get them really fresh.
LDB, the Habeneros I get are orange but the Scotch Bonnets I've seen in the past are red and I think some are green. Different shape too. I know one thing, those bonnets are VERY hot! :yikes:

From Wiki:
Quote:
The Scotch bonnet is often compared to the habanero since they are two varieties of the same species but have different pod types. Both the Scotch bonnet and the habanero have the characteristic thin, waxy flesh. They have a similar heat level and flavor. Although both varieties average around the same level of heat, the actual degree of "heat" varies greatly with genetics, growing methods, climate, and plant stress.

I'm used to Scotch Bonnet.. it's very popular in Jamaica... But up until this discussion I never knew it was related to Habanero...

I knew you were a "Hot Head" and would be by soon Rich. The color & temp. is dependent on when there are picked and how ripe they are when served. I grew a batch a couple years back. Problem here in Canada is that vendors don't know Diddly 'bout peppers and, I think, guess at the type most times.

I love hot, spicy foods L. I had an order of 15 Buffalo wings for lunch a couple of hours ago at a place called Pluckers. I ordered them "wet" with extra "buffalo hot" sause on the side. Too bad my boss was with me else I'd been puttin' down some frosted mugs 'o BEER! :yesnod:
I can get habeneros year-round down here.

My grandad was a "hothead", and I developed a pretty misguided sense of my ability to handle a chili pepper. Another friend (I do have 'em, y'know) invited me to a bash where she turned me onto her Firehouse Five-Alarm Chili...I'm still feelin' that one, whew!
-
Yup. I learned that lesson in college....

...whatever goes in hot is going to come out hot. And no amount of alcohol is going to ease the pain in the morning.
As for the habaneros, try rubbing your eye after cutting up a pair. Made that mistake only once.

Trust me Sugar...I speak from experience...the faster you get used to this behavour, the better off you'll be. It's best to just go with the flow.
...Even if the flow is making Rich's eyes water. LOL!

Sorry SB, what was this thread about again?

Ah, shucks! Forget it! (as I stomp off)....
Leave it go a bunch of "guys" to turn a thread about "the power of words" into a discussion of, well, I don't care to repeat all that's been said (as of late).
Thanks FA for the advice. Taken.

OK, so back to Habaneros?
