02:55 pm - Didja know? Part 1: Habaneros
Unlike jalapeño, the word habanero has no tilde. The pepper is named after Havana in Cuba (La Habana in Spanish), and is pronounced like it looks, not like "habanyero".
Also, habaneros are waaay too spicy for me to eat. I prefer a much lower spice level.
*Fresh, or at least not prepared in any way. No cooking, cutting, or anything. The sections of peppers that are spicy either have the seeds or have soaked with the seeds and thus taken on the spiciness.
That's how I got used to new agers.
