How much heat do you like?

I'm somewhere inbetween serrano and cayenne...

I'm sure by now, with all his experience, Ken can easily handle police grade pepper spray.

    6,000, I guess. Had Sichuan hotpot for dinner, using cayenne among other ingredients.

    If it's a cheap shot from Kurt and the 'K' name is mentioned, it's
    at me.

    Of course I've only ever been kind to Kurt.

    Actually, I'm much more of a Tabasco kinda guy. I love that
    stuff.

    You do not list snow cones - that is where I am at, Kurt.

    Oh sorry we are talking peppers.

    I am just a sweet bell = numero zero

    (just a sweet northern belle)

    however i do byte when people piss me off.

    where is good old black pepper? (even that is a little strong for my sensitive stomach, although at least I like it even though it is painful an hour later).

    i really don't like hot stuff and to me it is sacreligious that even pizza places deliver chili flakes with pizza. yuk. what a travesty to do to sweet tomatoes..

    I went to a little place in Texas with some friends, and they had a jar of orange habaneros up at the register. Each one you ate at the register knocked $5 off your bill.

    I got $35 off.

    Now, granted, I was seriously not feeling well the rest of the night... but I was a legend in the barracks for that.

      That is impressive, Caliban.

      While others... just a joke.
