    I’m a Mexican who grew up in Mexico and it’s taken me 30+ years to become friends with Serranos and Habaneros. Sometimes the best things in life come in small doses. It’s given me perspective to try things I didn’t like again. Except Balut (I’m sorry for my closed mind).

      Fair play! I don’t like the bitter peppers like Serranos… any advice? I don’t mind more heat if it tastes good but I can’t help but wonder if I’m doing something wrong.

      And balut… yeah I’m good on that, thanks.

        Some chillis are better dried, some are better pickled, some fresh, some cooked, some are better in big chunks and some are better blended into sauces… if you want to up your chilli game you’re best to do some homework.

        Not to mention personal preference. I love Jalepenos cooked or diced or as part of sauces/salsa but I HATE them sliced and pickled.
