"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Habineros are tricky, only add 3-4 and keep re-tasting, if not hot enough add one more and taste again. I have had to add up to 8 as it depends where the peppers were grown and when they were harvested.

You can also use pork loin, pork butt, as the meat, I try and use whatever pork is on sale, just cut the pork into 1/2 to 1 inch pieces.
