>I think habs are too hot for my taste, I don't like the flavor Interesting. While hot, I'd say they have the best flavor, especially for fruit based sauces, marinades and jerks, and for fish. > and they smell bad when I cook with them Smell bad? While they may put out lethal fumes (occasionally when cooking with them people can be heard at the far end of the house coughing fitfully), we find the smell wonderful. Tom
