This is an excellent topic for discussion.  I'd really like to see what
some of the more experienced CH'ers like.

My personal favs include (still) jalapenos, various green/anaheims,
pasillas, rocotos (manzanos and perons), habs.  Oh, and aji amarillos.
Those are great!  I think so far rocotos and a. amarillos for heat and
flavor really stand out.  Orange chiles in general so far seem a can't
lose bet.

This year we should have a number of other chiles to really use and
widen our horizon.  Which is very limited right now, imo.  I really want
to get some quantities of more exotic ones to compare and cook with.
Obviously some lend themselves to certain styles and dishes and I'm just
learning something about them.  One really mild chile that I get dried
from Jim at Mild to Wild is caribi.  Nice aromatic touch.

So, anyone else gonna pitch in?

Hot regards,

Riley
