Hi, All --

Chapeau de frade is one of approximately 70 varieties that I will be growing
this year.  I know very little about this chile other than it is from
Brazil -- Googling produces only sparse results and no pictures or
"first-hand" accounts of consumption / growing experiences.  So, I'd like to
query the list -- anyone familiar with these chiles?  Ever grown them?
Eaten them?  Have any pictures?  Does the term "chapeau de frade" translate
to something?  Is it Portuguese?  French?

Of the 200 or so seedlings that I currently have, the chapeau de frade
seedlings are the tallest -- so I am curious.

Thanks in advance, CH's.

Matt
