habanero
:wave Robert. we use it with a formula to clean colon, lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, stop bleeding and a tincture that will stop a heart attack. we also mix it with brittany sea salt and white pepper for a condiment.

Jalepenos
Did you know that the hottest part of a jalepeno is the seeds? Take caution when removing them. The 'heat' will stay on your hands even after washing. The seeds have been know to actually cause blisters on the skin. Cream (milk will do) is the best neutralizer if you happen to get a bite that's a bit too hot. Water is the worst thing.
Just a little tidbit of useless information. :wave

Hotness in pepper seeds
Believe it or not there used to be considerable disagreement among botanists and pepper specialists (yes, there are such people!) about whether the seeds of peppers were "hot." Today there is general agreement that the seeds are not "hot"— that is, they do not contain significant amounts of capsaicin, which is the compound that makes our mouths burn when we eat peppers. The capsaicin resides in the pulp of the pepper, and if a seed tastes hot it is because it has been in contact with the pulp, or placenta, of the pepper. The capsaicin is produced by glands that are primarily found in the placenta (also called the "cross wall" of the pulp in the top of the pepper) near where it joins the fruit. The fruit itself, the mesocarp, has virtually no capsaicin and is therefore not hot except as it has come into contact with the placenta. The mesocarp contains the "flavor" of the pepper, something that the seeds and placenta do not have. We get confused about where the "hotness" actually resides because in handling the capsaicin is transferred from part to part.

Might be a great recipe, but I'd use a different chile...
Y'all can remove the seeds and stems (and ''placenta?'') from all the habanero chiles you want, but I'm still not eating any of 'em!
And I'm from Texas... heck, I'm even Charlie's ''neighbor.''
So there!
:cblob
And one more thing - when it comes to putting out chile fires, there is something that's actually worse than water.
IMHO it's :cheers

but with enough beer, they don't care if it burns. :)
When I was a child there was on oldwife's/wise tail that if you drank milk while you ate chili you would poison yourself. I ignored it, because I had just finished a bowl with milk on the side. so it was too late.

hot peppers
I'm with Mary on this.A California Wonder green pepper is as far as I'm willing to go.My recipe for chilli must be pretty lame, but my lips are still intact when I'm done eating.
What else should we be aware of on a menu? SOme may be obvious and others my be just "understood" to be hot.
We're still hoping to do route 66 in June (jalapeno country in the summer yet) -if Norm can get the 32 roadster built in time- he's out in the garage now.
