What is your favorite pepper?

[Ryan]

We are just getting ready to start the seeds for our garden and we usually grow pepper plants. We are looking to try something new that we have not grown yet. Tell me what your favorite peppers are.

Right now my choice is the new "Black Pearl". The draw back is locally you can only get it by 100 seed packs and it is $20.00 for the package.

I vote for good ol' Dr. Pepper. One of the things that I cannot get down under.

Pepperinos that come w/ salads are great. For salsa habaneros, mi amigo.

Ever try any Poblano chiles?

Thanks, that was the chili pepper I was trying to remember. I planted some in my wife's flower bed once and really liked them.

Gosh , there's so many good peppers out there. I like em all. Right now I'm hung up on the "sweet and hot" relishes and such. Just bought a wonderful Roasted Raspberry Chipotle sauce and some Candied Jalapeno's. Both of these are great over cream cheese.
For straight peppers you can't beat Habenros for flavor and level of heat. Jalapenos are also a steady favorite of mine. My Dad grows em and makes a wonderful hot relish from them. It's great on everything from black eyed peas to hamburgers.

Ryan,

Is the Black Pearl you are looking for an ornamental? If so, you can get 10 seeds for $3.95 @ ParkSeed.com Hopefully this link will work. http://www.parkseed.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDisplay?storeId=10101&catalogId=10101&langId=-1&mainPage=prod2working&ItemId=3953&PrevMainPage=gatepage&scChannel=Gate%20aasnewwinners&OfferCode=S1H

BTW, it was a fairly quick google search.

Nope! I will have to give this one a try this year. So far I have tried everything and there have been some good ones suggested.

One of my favorites for fajita's is called a fajita bell. It has just enough kick to make it warm, but not so hot you loose the taste of the food.

Thanks for the link. That is the one I was looking for. I think I have decided to get the 100 seed pack. I found enough freinds and family to split them all up and not have a huge amount of them left over.

I like 'em all, and they all have their place. If forced I'd have to say that Poblanos are my favorite.

 

[Mikey]

Heck, just plant me some green, red and yellow pepper plants. At $3-$4 a pound at the grocery store for these alone and with the amount that a family goes through, they would be my best investment.

 

[coach]

All we eat here are Jalapenos, Habeneros, and Serrano peppers. The Serranos grow on bushes down here and are tiny, but pack a nice punch.

 

[alamocdc]

And what wrong witha good Poblano? You got sumpin' agin chili rellenos?

 

[Dario]

I am not much into peppers but love the leaves (tops) on some of my chicken dishes. I don't know how to cook them but I eat them []. For this purpose, the bigger leaf varieties works best [].

YUMMMM
