My feelings exactly.  I consider "heat" to be a basic flavor, like "sweet",
"bitter", or "salt".  I love my red savinas and habbie powder in the right
places, but not on everything.  I probably don't even make chili as hot as
most folks on the list, just because I like my chili of "medium" heat rather
than full-fire.
