I am one of those people that is constantly annoyed by hot peppers. Because they are inconsistent from day to day and from plant to plant. I used to grow and enjoy Poblanos because they were flavorful without burning. That's what I'm looking for in a hot pepper, but it doesn't seem possible to achieve in the real world, only in my imagination. I stopped growing any hot peppers after getting torched one time too many. I still use jalapeños in cooking, but I grind them up into a sauce first, and then add the sauce to taste. No surprises that way. To me there are only sweet peppers or hot peppers. There is no middle ground.
