| They aren't that hot but poblanos are really tasty. Good for stuffing and many other things too. -HabBob |
|
| Good ol' jalapenos are hard to beat IMO |

| As far as everyday eating, Serrano is tops..but to mix things up take a large Jalapeno (make a small incision across the top near the stem and then down the middle, scrape out the seeds and stuff it with cream cheese with chopped serrano and wrap it with bacon...put on the grill fer about 20 mins until the bacon is done and enjoy. Very tasty appetizer. |
|
| *Drooling* I do jals stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar and ham with a squeeze of lime juice. I gotta try the bacon wrapped ones now. Dinner anyone? =) -HabBob |
|
| A poblano with a little heat is about as good as it gets. For the very hot, I like aji chombo (Panamanian habanero), nice, fruity taste. As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to make myself some good hot sauce with my left over harvest right now! |
|
| I like Chimayo for taste |

| Cayenne is my favorite by far. I put it on EVERYTHING except cereal and cake (been thinking bout HOT cake)!! Last year I used almost 12 bottles of ground cayenne pepper! Jalapenos are good too! |
|
| I would add Rain Forest. Nice fruity flavor. Moderate heat. John A |
