My limited experience with jalapenos leads me to agree with you. They
are not available in every grocery store around here all the time, but I
get them occasionally and I am never sure how much to use in a dish
because they may be quite mild or they can be extremely hot. Due to lack
of availability of fresh jalapenos, I got into the habit of having
pickled jalapenos on hand. They have a decent kick to them and they are
consistent.
