Kids,
Joe Ferguson asked:
How about everyone else, bravado aside. What cap do you most enjoy the
FLAVOR of?
In my case, it was the flavor of jalapenos that first drew me into the c-h
life. My family would have a bottle of Tabasco in the cabinet, but I never
sought it with much interest. But the green sauce in a cheap local
restaurant (Talita's) made a bell ring in my head. That first flash of
flavor before the heat still pleases me, even after I've pursued many other
pepper flavors.
I think it's a little bit unfortunate that few people understand how
peppers have flavor other than their heat. When I tell someone that I
enjoy pepper flavors, I feel like I'm telling them I read Playboy magazine
for the articles. Conversely, if I cook something with pepper heat, some
people can't taste anything beyond the heat.

when the green sauce pouring into the top of the burrito
equals the green sauce dripping out the bottom,
you have attained Balance.
