Dave Drum Said to MICHAEL LOO about hot spices

DD> ML> lamented Berthelot Foods: I have but a tablespoon remaining
DD> ML> and may well shed a tear when that's gone.

DD> Have you tried contacting Dr. Bosland at the Chile Pepper Institute
DD> for  another source. I will ask on the Chile-Heads list for you.

DD> From a 2008 posting by Kurt Matherne "Mr. Berthelot died a few years
DD> ago  and none of his family does it any more. But Porche's [a
DD> butcher shop]  on the upper end of French Settlement @ Colyell Bay
DD> has red pepper that  is just as good [hot] as Berthelot's was.

DD> "Call and ask to speak with Donald Porche 225-698-9632 It's the same
DD> pepper that Mr. Berthelot used From French Settlement."

Further to that - I got an offer of seed for a strain of "extra hot" 
serranos from Knox Bill on the Chile-heads list. I have supplied him 
with my snail-mail address. And I will go pick up some more 30L sauce 
pails from Tai Pan's back door. Seems I may be a multi-crop container 
gardener this year. The hontaka seed I scored via Dr. Bosland and the 
Chile Pepper Institute and Knox Bill's serrano seed.

We'll see what eventuates. Bill is a well-known chile head of a somewhat 
higher heat tolerance than I. Not to the level of the Barnharts (of TVFN 
(and elsewhere) fame or notoriety) but still higher than my upper part 
of the moderate range.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Doug's Evil Cookies
 Categories: Five, Desserts, Chilies, Snacks
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      1    Recipe Chocolate Chip
           - Cookie Dough
      3 tb Smoked habanero powder
           - (heaping) added to dry mix
     20 dr PurCap * added to lard
           - or shortening or butter
 
  Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix smoked habanero
  powder in with the dry ingredients. Mix the liquid
  ingredients together, including the 20 drop of PurCap.
  Mix the wet and dry together.
  
  Drop by tablespoonfuls (large) on a sheet of parchment
  paper or on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350øF/175øC
  for however long your chocolate chip recipe calls for.
  Let cool on a wire rack.
  
  Notes:
  
  * If using butter, let it solidify a bit before adding
  extract
  
  WARNINGS:
  
  1) When baking, use plenty of ventilation -- any normal
  members of your family would probably not appreciate
  gagging and eyes tearing.
  
  2) Also best to secure the baking pan used away from the
  normal kitchen area. Doug thought he had sufficiently
  cleaned the cookie pan, but hadn't. Sandy, intending to
  make normal cookies for the rest of the family obtained
  cookies that - well - weren't normal. Doug caught hell
  from Sandy and all three boys.
  
  3) These have a delayed heat, 5 to 10 seconds. A fast
  cookie muncher could get his/her self into big trouble
  before realizing it.
  
  ADDITIONAL For the extremists amongst us, I offer two more
  suggestions.
  
  1) Add a dollop of rich vanilla ice cream on top of a Evil
  Cookie, then darken the top of the ice cream with some
  more hab powder. Sort of like taking the poison and the
  antidote at the same time.
  
  2) OK, I know that there are a few really extreme out
  there -- you know who you are. When baking, after the
  dough flattens, but before it is done baking, generously
  sprinkle some Blair's Death Rain on top of selected
  cookies. (Remember which.)
  
  WARNING! remove from oven during sprinkling, lest the
  oven's convection currents put the powder in your face and
  eyes.
  
  NOTE that the powder will tend to form clumps on top,
  producing interesting hot spots -- even for the
  experienced CH.
