Not particularly. Their fire is exaggerated, but I don't like them
much because of their flavour. Admittedly, the only one I ate raw
I had grown, and UK sun isn't enough to get them to heat up. But I
was given the seeds of 3-4 and the flesh of one by my family (on
pizza). That was as hot as I like.


Was it on this newsgroup that I announced my wide-eyed discovery that
the seeds of chillies aren't hot? Only to be told by the experts, "Of
course they aren't: it's the flesh and chiefly the placenta which
pack the punch. We thought everybody knew that!"
