Well, it's that time of year again to mark your calenders for the 3rd Annual
Chileheads-Taxman Blues Party. Back by popular demand (at least from me),
chileheads nationwide *and especially those in Texas* are invited to Austin
for a hotluck and general good time, April 14th to drown their sorrows in
the heat of El Grande.

CH Friends,
For all CHs that get the FOOD Channel and haven't already seen it, I strongly recommend "Eat The Heat". It aired first at 9 p.m. tonight (EST), and it repeats at midnight, and then again the following Saturday, March 17, at 4 p.m.
It is really most excellently done, Karen and Stuart Zanger deserve much congrats for producing this show. The NJ hotluck appears at the end. (Stuart directed the taping and did the interviews, and became a CH himself.)

Does that mean it is somewhat frost or at least cold resistant? I have

Hi Jeff,
Welcome aboard! I'm going to try to compile a list of chile-heads
and where they appeared in the program so please let us know
where your 1.5 seconds of fame occured and the usual police
description (Chile tattoos, etc:-).
Members of our group that I recognized were:
Jim (the elder) Campbell
John (the lurker) Hard
Risa Golding
Mark Stevens
Karen Stober
I don't think Harold Zoeschke is a group member, but since he gave
me an autographed copy of his book: "Das Chili Pepper Buch"
which I can't read because I was inattentive in my German class,
he deserves mention. Harold was in the hot sauce shootout with
the host at John Hand's booth.
I know that more of you attended the hotluck and the pickluck, but
I haven't seen your mug shots. I taped the special and if possible
plan to tape it again with a little more quality on March 17 at 4:00
pm Eastern. I'm going to try to contact The Food Channel to see if
they sell tapes of their programs. This one belongs in any chile-
head's library.

Hi Pods,
I spent my weekend in Friesland. It's a province in the north of the
Netherlands. I visited my good friend Silvia with whom I spent a lot of time
in Fort Walton Beach, FL. As we were riding our bikes we passed a butcher
shop and to my big surprise I saw they were offering Piri Piri. It was sold
as Portugese style chicken. Of all places I see it in Friesland!!!! Too bad
we didn't have the time to buy some. So instead later on I bought a pizza
with Spanish peppers all over it! Yummy, yummy in my tummy!

I know them from some Cuban marinade recipes - you can buy the juice (or an
artificial version of it) as agria naranja. Sliver an onion, chop up some
serranos, maybe some garlic, and marinate some fish or chicken or pork.
Light the grill, beach boy!
You can approximate the flavor by combining orange and lemon juice.
Today I'll fly down to Raleigh, and drive to the coast. Somewhere down
there is a bottle of hot sauce waiting for me.

I was happy with Eat the Heat. Our segment was good. They cut my 1-1/2 hours

all the chiles stocked away. Doug got some good airtime, as did Jim
Campbell. I was happy.
I'll email Karen Zanger personally and give her my thoughts.
Good going to all the other chile-heads who made it onto the show. Plus I
learned a lot from watching the show. Didn't think that would happen.

Subject: [CH] Jalapeno/Habanero/Cream cheese wontons
Somebody posted a recipe the other day for jalapeno's stuffed with cream
cheese, Habaneros and cayenne. We did something a bit different with a
similar concept. 10-12 jalapeno's, stemmed and seeded. Steam for 5 to 10
minutes. Dice fine, mix with 1/2 a container of soft cream cheese. Dice one
or two habaneros and mix in. I added a tbsp. of cajun spice, mostly for the
salt. Spoon a tsp. or so into a wonton skin, fold in half to form a triangle
and deep fry. I would add more habanero next time, we seem to have gotten
into a mild set of jalapenos.
When I was steaming the jalapenos, I took the lid off to check on them. Went
back to the living room where I was in the middle of a book. As I walked
past my wife she made some comment about my smelling like a jalapeno. Of
course, I HAD to ask of that was having a stimulating effect (although I
said it with a bit more of a knuckledragging accent) or did I have to rub a
habanero behind each ear... And yes, I slept quite well on the couch... ;-)

You tell 'im sister. But you left out some other important points:
1. We need less gardening space, since we use fewer chiles. (Depending on
how many you share, I suppose.) Hell, one Hab plant with a good yield could
provide all the heat we need for a year. (But what fun is that???)
2. We save money on hot sauce, since we don't have to buy the slightly more
expensive extract sauces; and the ones that we do buy last a little longer.
3. It's easier to go to restaurants and be able to get a meal that is hot
enough for us.

Hey, thanks for the link. We've discussed some of the Salsa Cycles items
here before, but this might be completely new. Have you even dealt with
Colorado Cyclist? I have tried twice to get a catalog using their online

Hi Karen,

Excluding commercials, the hotluck got 4 minutes, 25 seconds.
I would say that the hotluck was a major feature of the program.

Subject: [CH] another way to measure capsaicin
Awhile ago there was a short discussion about ways to measure capsaicin.
Besides the two ways mentioned (HPLC and using dilutions with human
tasters), there seems to be a new way. I've pasted some info from the
website below.
The URL for the company is: www.neogen.com
I have not tried this method.
By the way, I saw "Eat the Heat" and thought it was great!
- --Mark
Neogen releases rapid test to measure capsaicin
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACTS: Chuck Bird, Neogen Technical Services Manager
Tim Hendra, Neogen Diagnostic Sales Director
517/372-9200
LANSING, Mich., Nov. 14, 2000 - Neogen Corporation's (Nasdaq: NEOG) new
quantitative test for capsaicin provides testers with a quicker, less
expensive alternative to methods currently used.
Capsaicin is the compound that gives peppers their hotness. The compound is
used in a wide range of concentrations in the production of spicy food
products, such as salsa, sauces, seasonings and mixes. More than 300
companies in the United States alone use capsaicin in their products, and
many of them test for capsaicin levels to ensure product consistency and
labeling accuracy.
"Companies that currently test for capsaicin generally run their own high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography units, or
send samples to an outside lab for testing," said Tim Hendra, Neogen's
diagnostic sales director. "The current methods yield accurate, but
relatively slow and expensive results. The start-up costs for HPLC testing,
for example, are in the $50,000 range, and are beyond the reach of many
smaller companies. And, HPLC allows only the testing of a single sample at a
time."
"Neogen's new test, Veratox® for Capsaicin, requires only minor start-up
costs, and allows for the batching of up to 20 samples at a time - a big
time saver that allows companies to move their products much more quickly
through the production cycle," Hendra continued. "This test is an excellent
alternative for smaller companies who could perform simple in-house testing
instead of sending their samples out, and large companies that could benefit
from a much quicker testing turnaround."
Neogen's new test is a competitive direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA) that allows the testing of up to 20 samples in about 20 minutes.
Outside laboratories take 1 or 2 days to deliver results, at about $75 a
test. Veratox for Capsaicin delivers results at about $8 per test.
Neogen Corporation develops and markets products and services dedicated to
food and animal safety. The Company's Food Safety Division markets
diagnostic test kits to detect foodborne bacteria, natural toxins, genetic
modifications, food allergens, drug residues, plant diseases and sanitation
concerns. Neogen's Animal Safety Division markets a complete line of
diagnostics, veterinary instruments, veterinary pharmaceuticals, nutritional
supplements and wound care products.

That's the idea Doug give the young un plenty of stick. If it helps your
cause I heard a report on radio recently a survey looking for the best city
in the world to live in. The reporter made great play that Auckland NZ came
in 6th or 7th, but top of the list was VANCOUVER rated the best city in the
world to live in Take a bow Doug :-)
On topic, the Rocoto's I planted outside against a sun facing fence are
fruiting well. The two I planted under in the shade house are doing well but
the fruit is not ripe yet. I picked a large one this afternoon and
remembering the no heat Rocoto of last year took a bite out of it. Great
flavour and shortly after plenty of heat :-) So I cut up the rest and put
it with some other vegetables into a stir fry for dinner. Very nice.

Seems as good a time as any to announce the Nth Annual Hotluck & Fiery

Firday evening is the actual hotluck portion and Saturday is the Expo
(vendors and other similarly situated evil corporate types trying to
pillage the public). Hosted again by the Thomas Family Winery. Call
them at 1 800 948 8466 or e-mail me if you need more information.
Open Fields 2001 is set for October 6th & 7th (Sat-Sun). For those of
you who struggled through the wind and cold last year, I figure to have
a large tent so there is at least one dry spot, and also to have some
port-o-lets. Sigh... this is almost turning into a real thing ;-) I'll
start asking for RSVP's along about September.

> Miss Dewi
Nice web site! Good question!
IMHO there is nothing wrong with hybrids. There are some people
who disagree. Since all of our peppers are probably descended
from the Ulupica, they have been selected and/or hybridized for
centuries. The same applies to tomatoes. Many hybridizers will tell
you that hybrids posess "hybrid vigor" which allows them to grow
faster, larger, and produce more fruits. As an experiment I sent
open pollinated Jalapeno and Jalapa Hybrid seeds to several
people last year so they could compare them. Unfortunately I only
received one reply and it was neutral. The person who responded
was from Germany. He said that he had extremely bad weather
last year which may have accounted for poor growth on both. I
should have grown them too, but I was busy raising Orange
Habaneros to dry and grind.
The problem with hybrids for seed savers is that the seeds from the
fruits will contain genetic material from both parents so the
resulting plants will probably be different. Another disadvantage is
that hybrid seeds are much more expensive because it requires
hand labor to pollinate each flower. I hope this helps.
