I need some peppers for jerk chicken. In the milwaukee area? If not, Chicago/northern illinois area? Not looking for habaneros. Got the pimento sticks, wood chips, leaves and berries-going for authenticity. Not in sauce or dried form-need the actual peppers. Anywhere to get them online?
No, scotch bonnets and habaneros are NOT the same. Like I said, going for authenticity. Not just looking for spice out of the peppers, looking for the added flavor they bring as well.
Scotch bonnets and habaneros are NOT the same thing but they are close enough to substitute.
Try a Mexican grocery. I wonder if there is a grocer that carries them near where a restaurant I used to like called "Sabina’s" is there?
I wouldn’t think you would have to resort to online or Chicago.
Do you have Trader Joe’s? They might have them.
