I found that out last year at Jim's open fields. Like most
of the pepper pickin' people, I was tasting whilst picking. When
I nibbled cautiously on the yellow scotch bonnet, I got little heat.
I proceeded to eat the whole thing like an apple and got really
nice flavor but very little heat, certainly not what I expected. While
talking with Jim about it later he said that was normal. I still have
some frozen which I am going to make into a sauce that should be
tolerable to even those of the moderate persuasion.
Scott... they are beautiful, if not hot... KCK
