They are relatively mild, and are definitely good right off the plant. Or lightly grilled like Plantvision said.
I always have a few peppers in my outdoor garden. I'm thinking of trying Bhut Jolokia this year. Hottest
pepper in the world.
This reminds me of a story. I raised Habeneros one year, I also had some really good cantaloupes.
It was a hot day and my brother and I stopped by the garden and grabbed a cantaloupe, it was so good we decided to have another.
But wait I told my brother, I have these flavor inhancing peppers, so I picked off a nice orange one and pretended to eat it.
My brother being gullable, took one and popped it in his mouth. I felt horrible, I thought he was going to die.
He ran around screaming and then proceeded to shove his face into a cantaloupe.
Like I said, I learned my lesson, because I felt so damn bad. That has been like 8 years ago.
I still have a big ziplock of dryed habeneros in the frezzer, just have no use for something that hot.
