Jalapeno Conspiracy

Is there any chance that your taste has changed? I've always understood the jalapeño to be a not-very-hot pepper. It certainly has changed but is not dead. This all started when I learned that my blood pressure was too high. One of the home remedies/internet factoids was that capsicum reduces blood pressure. Up to that time, I abhorred hot food and considered it uncivilized and fit only for howling savages. Well, after a concerted effort to modify my palate, it now takes a jabenero to really challenge me. However, a proper jalapeno still has that nice warm mouth feel and is not confused with the dudds I am referring to. They simply have no heat. Last year we harvested from about now till frost and nothing changed. Most of them were duds and a very few were hot. We had to add a few jabeneros to each jar of pickled jalapenos to get a reasonably hot batch. None of this had any effect on my blood pressure BTW but it has expanded my horizons. js -- PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm Astronomy, Beer, Cheese, Fiber,Gems, Sausage,Silver http://schmidling.com |
