UPDATE 10/01/05:

I got inspired by the comments by three of my readers, so I took one of the Cheyenne chile pepper fruits and created my own dip sauce for Buffalo wings. The ingredients are:

• Sour cream (3 dl)
• Lime & mango chutney (1 tablespoon)
• Lime & cinnamon honey (1 teaspoon)
• Lime juice (1/2 lime fruit)
• Cashew nuts, peanuts, and other spicy nuts (a handful, crushed)
• Cheyenne chile pepper (1 fruit, chopped)
