The problem around here is finding a stupormarket that even knows what a hot pepper *is*! I've got four major supermarket chains in my town, with five other chains within a ten-minute drive. Only three of them carry anything other than jalapenos and cornos, and only one of them keeps the stock fresh (the others sell the damn things until they're wrinkled and growing mold.) >Speaking of which, I couldn't resist another Odd Lots scouting trip. Job lot stores are great sources of hot sauces and tinned peppers. I always seem to find a sack full o' goodies there. :-) === Dave Sacerdote davesas@ntplx.net Resist or Serve.
