First, the off-topic thing: Mike, thanks for the post on list clutter.
Certainly no one means anything disruptive with OT posts, but it keeps
peace in the Chile Family if you step in when needed to reduce list clutter.
Secondly, I need help identifying a chile. Went into a Mexican supermarket
today where I hadn't shopped before. They had some chiles labeled as
Habaneros, so I bought some although they looked a bit different than a hab
should. They were colored to the yellow side of orange. They were a bit
larger than the usual hab. They were more straight of shape than a hab,
more like a bell pepper shape. The flesh was thick like a bell pepper as
well. The flavor was sweeet and fruity, like a red bell pepper. The heat
was about like a jalapeno which was destined for a jar of Pace.
The seeds were black, and I put some in a pot to see if they would grow.
Anybody have an idea what I have?
TIA,
Frank
