Scotch Bonnet and Habanero are destinct and uniqly diferent varieties of pepper from the same family. Habanero does not grow in the caribbean and is not a traditional ingredient of Jerk seasoning. Modern (American) chefs assume the interchangeability of the two peppers but this is not traditional or authentic. Good commercial Jerk seasoning is made with Scotch Bonnet peppers. They have a unique flavor not present in Habanero peppers.

[edit] Modern Day "Jerkers"

Someone needs to clean this section up: the word "often" is used six different times within the space of four sentences.

[edit] Goat?

Isn't goat traditionally prepared with jerk seasoning? I was under the impression that Jamaicans eat goat by the yard-ful, and was surprised at the first paragraph's assertion that pork is the "most" traditional meat used with jerk. Am I wrong? The article does not currently mention goat at all. 199.4.74.16 20:05, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
