I cook my food for flavor first, then heat. That is how most Mexicans cook their food. I lived in Los Angeles from birth to 22, and ate some wonderful Mexican food in that time period.
Scotch Bonnet peppers are nice, they are equal to Habanero peppers on the Scoville scale, and I would use them with care, equally.

I'd pretty much agree with that - I use the Jalapeno (or Serrano) for the heat, not for the flavor.
The scotch bonnet's are extremely near kin to the habanaros. I think of them interchangeably with the one caveat that the ripening time for the scotch bonnets precludes my growing them (at least, outdoors).
Adding heat to food should enhance the flavor. In the US, they have chili contest and give them names like "Five Alarm", "Six Alarm", ad nauseam, and similar claims to extreme heat. I frequently explain to people that any moron can make food extremely hot - just add more peppers.
It's making it so it tastes better as a consequence of the heat that's the art. I rarely use any form of liquefied tomatoes without a bit of heat. Most Asian dishes, as well. And, of course, mutli-bean curry.

Were I to pick only one, then indeed we're in agreement as to the heat level. Something that can be sliced fresh and put on a pizza. The length growing season, here, makes getting very ripe Habanaro touch-and-go. I'd like to save seeds to replant and share. I'm finishing off a second quart of Jalapeno sauce from last years crop.

I wasn't even sure I was awake until I puked this morning. If I thought that was how life would be I'd have been an alcoholic.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I must not be quite following, because it sounds like you're saying you enjoyed it.

No, i didn't enjoy it. I figure if this is how i'm to wake up, it would be better if it was because of a hangover. At least then I could have enjoyed being drunk the night before.

A year after almost failing her high school physics class, a girl told her older brother,
"You know, my physics teacher was right about the optical Doppler effect. You see those cars. The lights of the ones approaching us are white, but the lights of the ones moving away from us are red."
I do all my own stunts, but never intentionally!

British probably can call upon the Morning Suit[^] (especially for breakfast)
You need to think larger. Cowboy ties and hats in the south-western US; Brooks Brothers suits in the northeast; camouflage in north-central with the 'seperatists', and of course, big toothless smiles and grey 'Johnny Reb' suits in the South-East.

Morning suit though, I havent seen that in a very long time, even at weddings!
