Meh. Habanjero and most other chili peppers just drown out all other flavors. Why not just stick a fork in your eye while you eat? Worse still, they actually cause permanent damage to taste buds, so eventually no other food tastes much at all.

Makes me wonder if that's part of the reason behind the trends of seasoning everything to death lately. There are no subtle flavors any more. Everything is loud and crass. TV, movies, fashion, food.
