Finally, a decent reply.

I was thinking it may be interesting to try a dish made from Jolokia. I
hear a lot of people grow them but what do they do with them? I can't
really eat hot peppers anymore due to a medical condition. Poblanos are
about as hot as I can go and not be hospitalized. Still, I had such luck
with my garden peppers I was thinking of growing some just for the fun of it
and giving them away to chili heads. Unless of course they are dangerous to
pets who might get too close.
