Ah, the aroma is definitive for both, but a soul enhancing thing only for
one.

The chocolate habs we've grown are the hottest chiles I've ever had.
Including not only the red savinas grown here but the ones we picked at Open
Fields last year. DW Mary isn't sure--doesn't recall, so we'll do a taste
test of some chocs and reds we dried.  The current crop of chocs isn't ready
yet.  I seem to recall chopping them and my forehead getting a prickly heat
type sensation, beads of perspiration forming, pinpricks of heat.

Don't have any recipes offhand.  Most of my stuff is improv, but fish and
pineapple come to mind.  With some citrus, maybe even fresh grapefruit in a
simple marinade.
