Delish! TO DIE FOR!!!) to unclog my sewer-like sinuses... Then I became a 'Head, and now use any pepper, in some form, in a recipe. The SO swears by anything hotter than a jalapeno. Anything, and his fav is cayenne. He says it leaves his tongue "alone," but gets his throat, sinuses (head) "all cleared." Both he and I either suffer from allergies (him) or just rotten, crappy sinuses (me). We SWEAR by hot chiles as a natural - EFFECTIVE - way of clearing our heads. We can't - literally - live w/o them. green P.S. Damn! But they taste good too!!!
