G'day Folks,
Wow, I thought I was the only freak out there!!
I can gobble Habs happily but Jals really mess me up. I cant figure it
out at all. But I suppose its all science. The Jals "blend" of
capsaicin must be more sensitive to me.
Luckily, though JohnT, I dont have quite the reaction as you but I
think we are definitely from the same planet.
And then there Rocotos......... ( a true measure of a man!)
:-)
cheers
