I take offense that hatch green chiles are claimed to be less spicy than jalapeños. Also, habaneros are pretty often not that spicy, though plenty of them are.
*Habanero. No tilde on the n.
Oops. Thanks. Updated. I know better, too. 🤦
Supermarket jalapeños these days are really lacking in heat- I’ve done zero research on this but 15, 20 years ago they had much more of a kick.
5 years ago jalapeños packed more heat. I’ve been trying to pick a different pepper but my grocery does not stock many spicy peppers reliably
There was a booth on a Rotterdam market named "Spice Girl". They sold a number of interesting things like the chili oil we are using (very carefully, and we are used to hot food!), and the pickled gherkins - with a habanero in the jar. Absolutely recommendable. Sadly, they no longer run that booth, as they have gone online.
