The jalapeños I find in Boston are indistinguishable from celery.

@Migueldeicaza Do we now actually, by default, have spicier jalapeños in Germany than in big parts of the USA? 🤯
(Germany's kind of known world-wide for being averse to spiciness in general too, so... 😅)
There are flavorful ones with a bit of kick and some that are truly spicy. But all have at least some level of spiciness.
(We also grow our own, so I'm attempting to compartmentalize this to just the store-bought and at restaurants. Our garden-grown ones are pretty spicy, of course.)
@Migueldeicaza I lived in Boston for a few years about a decade ago and had the same complaint. Also the avocados in the super market were sometimes from Mexico and sometimes from California, and the ones from California were bigger, prettier and almost completely flavorless! I thought that was ironic given that in both cases they were Hass avocados, a cultivar developed in California!
It's Boston. You need heat levels acceptable to people of Irish decent.
Sorry about that.
@SeanPLynch @Migueldeicaza I have eaten spicier boiled turnips
@Migueldeicaza I miss when the internet was more like this. Thank you
@Migueldeicaza like many things, it's Texas' fault
@Migueldeicaza homeopathic levels of heat
