Someone on this list knows where seeds are for Espelette from the
Basque country, which I purchased and tried to grow in New Mexico.
(Maybe Jim) I think they need the humidity like habaneros-mine did not
do well in our dry climate. I ended up just buying the powder in Santa
Fe. I am thinking White Flower farms or something like that. I also
lived awhile (long time ago) in Thailand-Lop Buri, Lampang and north of
Chiang Rai on the Union of Burma (now Myanmar) border. I love original
Thai, so keep the recipes coming!
