Hello, everybody.  Yesterday I was browsing through a different grocery
store, one that stocks a lot of Mexican items; and there was an unusual
pepper called a "Marzano Pepper".  At first I thought they were golden
habaneros, so I walked over to take a look.  But they were different -- and
quite hot!  They looked like apricots, which is the best way to describe
them.  They seeds are dark, but it could be that the seeds are "spoiled" or
something.  I am going to try to germinate some of these seeds out of
curiosity.  Does anyone know anything else about this Marzano Pepper?  They
were quite expensive, BTW, at $4 a pound.  Y'all have a nice weekend!
