Very interesting. Oftentimes I have seen jalapenos with purple streaks on
them at my local grocery stores. I personally have bought them and found
them to be acceptable for eating purposes. On the other hand, the other
day I was out at the Walmart Supercenter grocery market and got into a
discussion with the woman who was resupplying the pepper bins. I
complimented some of the excellent jalapenos that they'd had recently; and
in the course of the conversation, she mentioned that nobody (mainly the
Mexicans) would buy jalapenos with purple stripes on them. She said they
end up spoiling in the bin, and she doesn't particularly like to get that
type of jalapeno. BUT -- when the peppers are normal-looking with no dark
or purple streaks, they have no problem. You all, go figure. Is this a
"Mexican problem" or something greater than that???
Happy Holidays, Roberto
