I have grown cowhorns twice - once in a pot and they weren't anything
much, and two seasons back in the ground and they were terrific. I put
them in all kinds of food, especially my cornbread. I had so many from
just one plant that I made a number of ristas as well as drying them.
Scott - I don't think what you had were cowhorns. Cowhorns are
definitely not skinny - they are fairly fat, about 5 inches or so long
(some are longer) and curved - just like a cow's horn. I don't remember
it taking that long to get a heat-hit. Not like a tobasco or tepin, but
definitely hot and nice for cooking with. If they weren't so pointed,
they'd probably make great stuffing peppers.
