	Just recieved a package in the mail from good ol mom.  She is almost as
infatuated with chile peppers as I, so we tend to swap recipes and the
occasional bottle of hot sauce.  I open the box to find an assortment of,
Datil Do it,  hot sauces made from the Datil pepper.  The first bottle that
caught my eye was the Devil Drops hot sauce.  Immediately I stripped the
bottle of the plastic flow restrictor and dumped a healthy amount on my
fish sandwich.  WOW!!
That stuff has a serious kick.  I was very pleasantly surprised.  Does
anyone know any history behind the Datil pepper?  Where does it rank on the
Scoville scale?
