I will cut right to it. Chipotle. Chipotle is nothing but the feminization of the jalapeno pepper...at least in this country. KFC is the latest so called restaurant to add this "flavor" to its menu, but everywhere you go...Chipotle fish, chipotle chicken. Here is an idea...salt and pepper. Men eat peppers...hot peppers. We want our mouths to feel like they are on the business end of a Hobart welding machine. When it is too hot, we would rather die than let on it hurts. AND, jalapeno's are the mildest of the peppers, the spicy crazy uncle, the one who brings the illegal fireworks to the family picnic, of the bell pepper. If you can't eat them, change your dress...but don't smoke them until they are rendered blander than poi.

Now, this doesn't apply to our friends south of the border. Call me a hypocrite, but I would gladly suck down chipotles in a dusty seaside Mexican town while drinking tequila out of a mason jar and sitting on the back of a dirty pick up truck with no hub caps. But, I will never eat chipotle chicken ranchero mexicalitto.

Alright, I'm going to rub myself down in habenero sauce and bust out the mason jar.

Adios.
