Penelope I want to find a hot pepper that has that nice fruity, almost perfumey taste when you first chomp into it. The problem is, the ones I've found are too hot. The heat overtakes the flavor about 2 seconds after biting. An example would be Thai Hot. I have some Bulgarian Carrot peppers that are fruity and aromatic, but as usual, too hot. Have you ever tried Almapaprika? They're medium hot, very thick fleshed, and have a sweetness to the heat. They're similar to cherry peppers in appearance, but much better tasting. I've come to realize that heat is relative, but since I'm also growing Bulgarian Carrot peppers this year, I can assure you that the Almapaprikas are not as hot as the Bulgarian Carrots. I got my seeds from Seed Savers www.seedsavers.org, but I've seen them offered other places, too. I've been having a grand time stuffing them and roasting them on the grill. I grew the Datils on advice garnered from this learned group (well, and individual from this group!), but they don't seem to be quite what I'm looking for. Fun to experiment though. That's never a waste. Exactly! I love trying new varieties. And if it turns out that I don't like them, there are plenty of my friends who love getting my extras. Penelope |
