I saw the Japanese ones at Global Foods and bought a package. Good
taste, but not much heat.

That's basically what defines Japan chilis. All the flavor
and a lot less heat. I stopped using those a long time ago
in favor of Thai and arbol chilis.

I love the taste of Arbols. Like cayennes, but better. The only ones
I don't like much are the habanero varieties. They remind me of
tropical fruits that I dislike. This year I've planted NuMex Big
Jims, Serranos, Jalapenos and one Habanero for the heat. I'm going to
put a few of those Japanese seeds in too.

We've planted Fresno chiles. I'm still looking for seeds to plant manzana
chiles; it's probably not too late for them.

If you want lots of heat without the frooty taste of habaneros, try
Tabasco. One Tabasco plant will give you plenty of peppers for eating
fresh, once it *finally* starts producing.

If heat alone is what is desired, tabascos are a weak choice. They are
so far down the heat levels of peppers that it would be crazy to use
them for only that purpose if absence of taste is desired.

The Australian Butch T. @ 1.46 million heat units

British Naga Viper @ 1.38 million

India's Bhut Jolokia @ 1.1 million

California's Red Savina @ 800 thousand

Trinidad Scorpion @ 800 thousand

Trinidad 7-Pot @ 800 thousand

South African Fatalii @ 500 thousand

The Tabasco has 50 thousand scoville heat units.

I said *if you don't like the taste of habaneros* fresh tabascos are a
good choice. They have a good flavor and are hot and juicy, and they
don't taste anything like a Capsicum chinense.

I wasn't finding fault with what you've said Bob. Only expanding the
information.

I misunderstood you and thought *no flavor* was the desired effect. I
sometimes use the very hottest peppers for just that reason.

Some dishes have very mild flavors that are almost undetectable, but
contribute to the over-all taste of the entire dish.

If the precise flavor of the pepper is not already one of the desired
tastes, then the addition of that flavor would detract from the
over-all taste of the dish.

While this may be agreeable to some, others may wish the dish to taste
as intended by the author of the recipe being used.

If spiciness is desired as an addition to that precise taste, a tiny
bit of a very hot pepper can be used to provide that spiciness without
affecting the flavor for most people.

For enough hot to be useful with enough taste to be joyful, I like
pickled cherry peppers, red or green. (Fresh are great too, but harder
to get.) They are a bit milder than jalopenos, but tastier. I don't
put them _in_ mac&cheese, but eat them on the side.
