I've always tried to explain to non CH listmembers that ChileHeads in
general and Hotlucks in particular are not about testosterone drenched "I
can take more heat than you" type of chest thumping. They are rather an
attempt to see how creative we can be at incorporating heat and spice into
good tasting dishes. Chomping on raw habs is but a small portion of what
constitutes the Chilehead lifestyle. Sure we can appreciate the pure
entertainment potential of a wannabee chilehead trying his first bite of
"The Bread," but ultimately what counts is flavor...
