"Chileheads" are people who like to eat hot chiles with, on, or in their foods or just alone out of hand (at least the brave ones, or "chest thumping" ones). They love to talk about, grow, share, create new dishes and sauces, exchange recipes, and commune with others similarly inclined. Chilehead gardening is the growing of many varieties, or some of your personal favorite varieties, of hot peppers (chiles) usually for your own pleasure or to share with other Chileheads.
There is often seed or plant sharing among Chilehead friends. Growing tips are exchanged, plant and fruit photographs are shared, bragging about harvest is common and other similar typical enthusiast behavior.
Years ago you had to be a Chilehead gardener for "survival" because the commercial supply was not adequate. These days with the increased popularity of hotter/"spicier" foods, and more imported varieties of produce from more countries, chiles are much more available at the supermarkets year round in the US.
Chileheads like the nuances of the flavors of the different chiles and grow many for all the different uses. Some flavors are better with some foods than others. For example, habaneros and Scotch Bonnets have a fruity flavor that makes them excellent in dishes with sweeter sauces, citrus flavors, with fruit dishes, lighter seafood dishes, and with ice cream and chocolate. It is not unusual to hear Chileheads speak about the flavors, fragrance, and feel of chiles in your mouth much like oenophiles speak about wines. One of the UK Chileheads has built his personal web site to become an excellent reference source about growing, identifying, using, and all other things Chile. A link is provided in the link section with this question.
