A local Mexican joint makes the best poppers I've ever had.
While every other place uses your traditional boring cream cheese filled, mass produced, frozen bar food popper, these guys roast fresh jalapenos, seed them, stuff them with a queso blend, then deep fry them in tempura batter.
OMG!
Sooooo tasty.
And you never know what level of heat you will get.
I've long been of the opinion that jalapenos just aren't that hot, but from these poppers I get everything from "hmmm, tasty" to "Arrgghhh, my tonsils are on fire!".
