<< While I respect the heat of the noble hab, I also like other pepper flavors and heat levels too. >> I know that different chiles and heat levels fuse with different foods best! Hab is NOT always the pepper of choice for true balanced flavors. Habanaros will destroy the fine flavor of much seafood, unless just a "blessing" is used, whereas the fruitiness of other chiles impart a lovely heat and flavor! I cook my way around the world and the Chile-patch! I liken the different flavors and heat to the finesse of different grape varietals----some impart the earthiness, others are gravely or steely...each perfect with the right food. Mary-Anne
