You are right, not much on them Dave.. but the picture (location below) reminds me of Aji Yuquitania type peppers. Other research suggests you may subsitute malagueta pepper Substitutes: jalapeno (not as hot) OR tabasco. (http://www.foodsubs.com/Chilefre.html) Gernot Katzer's Spice Pages suggest a completely different plant. Any who... this is what I could find on them.. Picture of them.. http://www.maria-brazil.org/molho.htm Describes them heat wise.. http://www.recipehound.com/chile_fresh.html#BRAZILIAN, Malagueta Still use the chopsticks you made.. they are great cooking/eating tools!
