Surely Cameron means, "yes, rocotos are great now, but they would _really_
be super if they were also large enough to easily stuff", i.e. the size of
what is now our average bell peppers. I believe rocotos sold in markets in
Peru are already essentially as large as Cameron desires (along with the
rest of us), but I don't know why the fruits we grow from those same seeds
are so much smaller (and I've never been to Peru to even begin
investigating the reasons why).
