Perhaps not as hot after all, or maybe not as hot when cooked into a sauce,
but to bite one fresh off the bush gives such an immediate rush of heat,
faster to me than any hab. Lighter and aromatic, too, like slivovitz.
Funny thing is, the ones I saw were just little pale green pods, kind of
like skinny habs, and you'd never expect much from them just by looking at
them. The bushes were beautiful but the fruit was not really mature - this
was in Jim's field, 1999.
If you can get fresh ones, pickle them with garlic.
