Hi All --

I was in my local Asian market (Buford Hwy Farmer's Market for you ATL-area
CH's) over the weekend and spotted some beautiful manzano chiles.  Since I
don't see these very often, I picked up about half a dozen or so.  I've been
eating them like they're going out of style ever since -- tastiest
(sweetest) manzanos I have ever had.

That said, I have started saving the seeds.  Anyone interested in manzano
seeds please send me an off-list e-mail and I will be happy to send you some
(while supplies last) once they are dry.

On a related note, does anybody have any good recipes for manzanos?  Last
night, I did kind of an East-West mussel stew with PEI mussels, shiitake
mushrooms, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, yellow and green onions, celery,
Chinese sausage, Vietnamese fish sauce, and manzano chiles.  Served the stew
with shrimp summer rolls (also had manzanos) and nuoc cham.  I want to make
manzano poppers next....

I'd love to hear some other ideas.  Hope all is well.

Matt
