Remember Peter Piper and the famous tongue twister that’s
been around since 1813?
I think I like tongue twisters as much as I love peppers!
Say red peppers-yellow peppers, five times fast!
As far as peppers go, I prefer jalapenos. They are readily available around
here, and they add flavor to almost everything. I have a friend who makes
jalapeno jam, and it’s delicious. Really.
I’m not sure if there’s a difference between Hatch and
Anaheim peppers, but they are both as mild as bell peppers.
If you like a kick, there are poblanos, habaneros, serranoes,
Hungarian peppers, ghost peppers and Scotch bonnets, just to name a few. The
heat of these varieties is measured on something called a Scoville scale and measured
in heat units that go from 2000 to over 2 million. Ever hear of a Carolina
Reaper? (I’d turn back if I were you.)
Anyway, here are the tame little peppers from our garden.
They have no heat whatsoever.
I think they are banana or shishito, but it doesn’t matter, because they are delicious in this pickled salad recipe.
Do you have a favorite pepper?
I cannot eat jalapenos, but do like Serrano's.
ReplyDeleteHi Mari! I can't eat serranoes. They have a bite!
DeleteI can only tolerate mild green peppers, which I like on a pizza.
ReplyDeleteI like to ramp pizza up with jalapeños. All that crust evens everything out. Lol
ReplyDeleteI like jalepenos and habanero sauce. Ever hear of the ghost pepper? Turn back on that one as well. Hottest pepper in the world.
