Morning. Just to say I finally ordered some of Jim's
Red Savina powder and just got it. Guess I should
have done it a long time ago. As I mentioned to a
couple list members, I have not found a truly hot and
flavorful hab powder. Either they must be real old or
they are from a variety lower in cap, I've never been
satisfied. Albeit there are not many out in the
stores. One brand comes with a giant display with
about seventy or so spices hanging on it. The hab
powder (as the others) come in like a one or 1.5 oz
little plastic bag with no way to reseal, and then
when you pour it on food its not hot.
Well when I poured Jim's on a pizza yesterday I knew
it was there. Great flavor and obviously fresher than
what I'm used to. As soon as the smoked stuff is
available I'll be tryin that too. I heard that's what
you use to color Doug's cookies with, or a scoop of
mango hab ice cream (or both simultaneously).
Question: I use a lot of Spice Hunter brand flaked
chipotle on pizza and other stuff. I could imagine
how flaked smoked Red Savina would taste. Does
flaking dried chiles commercially take much new
equipment?
Happy holidays, John S.
