Sorry if I'm a few days behind on reading the list.  Some of you wanted
to know about cascabel peppers.  We use them in a recipe for our El
Pass-O Cafe.  The peppers have a round shape, thin-skinned, and hollow.
The seeds rattle in the peppers hence their name cascabel means jingle
bells or little rattlers.  The peppers have a rich, bugundy wine
flavor.  Dave makes a Cascabel Pepper sauce over smoked prime rib.  It
is a mushroom, burgundy wine sauce. Goes great with the prime rib.  The
heat level is about a 5, same as a jalapeno.  We order ours from The
Chile Guy in New Mexico.
