>>>>I bought some that were listed as "Pepperoncini" (sp?) and underneath it
said "SWEET". When ripe, I sliced up 3 or 4 for stir fry in big big chunks
and sat down to supper with a big big smile so happy to be cooking some
of my famous (soon to be infamous!) peppers. Being the Mom, the cook & the
gardener, I volunteered to be the first to try the dish to show the kids
that peppers do not always have to be too hot to eat. I was not afraid at
all so I took a big bite and WOWWIE!!! I think the kids had PBJ's that night
for supper while I sputtered, drank milk and pouted... I still don't know if
the tag in the pot was wrong or if it was in the wrong pot when I bought
it... I learned a lesson though to take a tentative nibble at first no
matter what the darn label says!

Pepperocinis I wouldn't classify as sweet, they pack a whollop especially
when grown in our heat. Good old Lowes!!! Some peppers I grew when I lived
up north were mild and then when I grew the same ones down here were hot. I
grew Mexibells one year and didn't tell my husband that they weren't bell
peppers, I laughed!!!
List, does the heat and humidity have anything to do with the heat of chilis
or growing conditions or.....?
