Jalapeno brownies will warm you up

CONCORD, N.H. -- Perhaps it's because I'm from the Northeast, but I'm
just not accustomed to food causing pain, at least not intentionally so.
Nor to it carrying dire warning labels.

That's probably why I recently was mystified by a spice catalog that
included a "USE WITH CAUTION" alert in the description of a particular
dried chili pepper.

Seems to me that food requiring such warnings might not be fit for
consumption.

Below the ominous description was a chart listing various peppers and
their corresponding heat ratings, or Scoville units (named for Wilbur
Scoville, a chemist who around 1912 developed a method for testing chili
pepper heat).

According to the chart, common bell peppers rate zero Scoville units.
Crushed red pepper flakes (with which my liberal hand has ruined more
than one dinner) rate 15,000 units. Jalapenos clock in at 55,000 units.
