what really gets my Panties in a bind is the Eateries that advertise
Chipotle this or Habanero that, that when tasted has a slightly discernable
flavor but none of the expected heat.
I was in a Restaurant in Portland OR. that is respected for the quality of
the food and it Chefs. I ordered salmon with a Habanero/Orange glaze. when
I got the food it tasted like it had been drowned in O.J. I mentioned this
to the wait person who responded with "this is Oregon did you expect it to
be hot?. I now have a certificate signed by the Manager for a free meal
for two :-)
