Mary-Anne,

Thanks for fascinating description of the qualities and uses of the
different chiles.  Have you acquired this from your personal experience?
Are there any books or online sources one could use to find, say, that a
Guajillo has a "...subtle chile taste..." and "... a piney tannic sweet
heat?"  I don't recall anything online, offhand, detailing chiles by taste.
Mostly heat and physical characteristics.


Ciao,

Riley
