that one hits home, I had an uncle that wanted some habaneros from my grams plant. Well he grabbed a couple put 'em in his pocket, and didn't think. Later he was wrestling with one of my cousins in the yard. He got up screaming bloody murder. He was running around the yard, taking off his pants (front yard mind you). Anyways he ends up in his skivies with the water hose going on himself. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. Best part was when my grammy, and her neighbors came outside to see what the commotion was ...
There's nothing quite like filling up a bowl, say 2/3rds with Dave's (or your personal favorite) at a poker party, then line the very top with some mild favorite. Dip your chips in the mild, eat and express your pleasure. Once you have eaten the top 'light sweet stuff' turn it over to your buddies to eat the Insanity sauce. Then ask those manly men why they are such weenies.
Do a side by side comparision, one pepper with the matches and one without, I'll put my bet on the fact that you wont notice any difference. The heat is primarily related to the genetics of the chosen plant. Its like these poor gringoized peppers they call jalapenos and serranos in the supermarkets now, they barely have more bite than a bell pepper and have little to no resemblance to Jalapenos of the past or ones that you can get the seeds to and grow yourself for some nice fire.
I've done so, and there's a difference. It makes them little hotter and adds a depth to the flavor. I'm sure genetics does play a factor, but a primary one? Case in point - Walla Walla onions. There are a lot of plants that behave differently when you transplant them in non-indigenous soils. I don't know why it works and I don't worry about it much.. It's like urinating on a gopher hole or treating bee stings with a poultice of tobacco leaf and the victims spit. It works, but you're probably right - please don't try it..
Years ago, a co-workers son took his Dads bottle of habanero oil to high school. When a kid wasn't looking he dunked a half eaten Snickers bar in it. After the police and ambulace left, the guys son was asked to leave for good. He had more trouble with that kid.
I love hot sauce, eat it on about everything. Stay away from the novelty hot sauces. They do not taste good, and they are blended with enzymes and other ingredients that give them an amount of heat that is most unneccessary. I like tabasco, Franks hot, texas pete, tabasco chipolte, and several mexican habanero sauces. Habanero has the best taste, not too hot, just right. Dont like halapeno very well.
