....I was thinking the same as Brent and was going to post. I have to say
the same thing, I love cayennes and have grown them almost every year that
I have had a garden. The past 2 years my long red cayennes have had very
respectable heat and I love the flavor--one of the most flavorful chiles
IMHO. When they are red they have a sort of sweet flavor and hot. And
they dry so nicely on their own you don't have to do anything to them. I
usually string them into ristras and they look great!
Gotta defend what ya love. Thanks for your post Brent!
