Yup- seems to be something about those people from Texas & Arizona's not
far behind :-)  Just got done with a chili cook-off at the Eiteljorg
Museum here in Indy.  My chili included (but was not limited to): 1/4 lb
dried Red Savina (tm), 1/8 lb smoked hab, 1/2 lb fresh habs, 1/4 lb of
Tepins & Serranos & Piquins, 1 bottle of Ralphs', and one ENTIRE bottle
of Backdraft.  All this for about 3 gallons of chili.  I had the proper
warning signs up, including serving the chili up in full firefighting
gear and breathing apparatus.  The best reactions were always those that
were preceeded by the declaration "I'm from Texas/Arizona, boy- you
don't know what hot is.  Now back there they have REAL hot chili.  Let's
try this stuff of yours that you think is hot."  It's less than three
seconds later & they were usually
crying/dancing/whooping/hollering/cussing/quaffing prodigiously and
muttering.  All this while I'd horse laugh them, which made it even
worse ;-)  I only wish I'd had some bread to serve it to them on....
