I think this is the biggest point a lot of people who aren't used to consistently spicy/hot food miss. Yes, the peppers will be hot but the flavors will be wildly different between them and that's the more interesting/important thing. The right pepper can really make a dish amazing, but just adding heat won't.
- tptacek 3y agoI don't know that jalapenos and serranos are different enough to say this about. Serranos are more vegetal, I guess? But jalapenos are pretty variable, especially depending on ripeness, and I would claim right now (without being able to back it up) that serranos fit into the spectrum of possible jalapenos (like: there is a jalapeno somewhere that tastes just like the median serrano), minus the capsaicin. Which is what people are saying they want from a non-industrial jalapeno. The boy has a rotavap in the basement, I just need to convince him to let me run up some peppers in it to do the comparison. :)
