I think you're right. I grew up in Louisiana, and have no trouble with cayenne peppers, but I can't even eat a jalapeno pepper without crying. The first habanero pepper I had my eyes started watering, my diaphragm went nuts, and I started hiccuping uncontrollably. It wasn't until someone gave me a glass of milk that I started to calm down.
I can't seem to put enough "
Louisiana Hot Sauce" or
Tony Cachere's on my gumbo, jambalaya, or etouffee.
Just a side note, while they are not peppers, I also can't get enough of the hot mustard you get at asian restaurants, german hot mustard, or pure horseradish (not the creamed kind). I simply cannot put enough on my food when I'm in the mood.
