Ben,

My only criteria is they must be jalapenos. I eat them from the garden, from the jar, from the can, whatever...same is true for habeneros. Habeneros are a bit hotter than jalapenos and have a totally different taste...spicier but somewhat more bitter.

Haven't tried the ones from Popeyes. There's a Popeyes a few miles from us. I'll have to check them out soon!
