> Japone' chiles are some of my favorites. I use them extensively when I > make chile oil. They impart a wonderful taste, heat and color to the oil. Remember, making chile oil can result in severe botula. And tasting good ol' chile oil butula will make you drop dead so fast you won't even get a chance to taste the Japone heat. Your best bet is to try it out on a C-A-T first. Sorry list, I couldn't resist, Dickedy
