Well damn. I don't know how I missed the post that whomever (sorry) said
showed up in '98 or so, but I guess I did. Well apparently no one around these
parts has any better clue than me. After how many years of growing, sauce
buying, etc., I've never heard ANYTHING other than "Hab-an-yer-o". And I even
used to work with people of Latin decent... (Which was always good when I grew
way more than I needed.)
Ah, the pitfalls of written communication....
