I used to make some stuffed Anaheim peppers back when I could eat cheese.
The filling called for one or more jalapeno peppers. All of the males in my
family like things as hot as they can possibly get. The store where I
bought the jalapenos had only 2 that looked fresh. I bought those and as an
afterthought also bought 3 serranos just in case. Well... All of those
peppers were just weak! I added every pepper I had and you just couldn't
taste the heat.
