actually based, I prefer serranos. Still like cowhorns better but that's because my family grew them when I was younger.

>>19339387
Fresh banana peppers are based too

Jalapenos tastes better, especially when pickled, even more so when pickled alongside carrots

>>19339406
Anyone else think habaneros taste like chemicals?

>>19339378
weak ass pussy pepper

Fuckin' right.
Japaleenies just tast "green," if that makes sense while serranos have a full flavour that I can't quite describe.

>>19339406
Meh.
I only pickle them as a condiment to a particular soup I like. My everyday chilli is cayenne/finger chilli but I also use serranos and goat horn. Wifey prefers some yellow habanero-like thing from her country.

i wanna know why everyone stopped selling cayenne peppers. all i can find now is japones which are not the same.

>>19339378
It's not really spicy enough for me

>>19339469
They're still in my area. Try checking Indian and SEA supermarkets.

>>19339707
i have. just thai chilis and really hot shit.

>>19339839
Even at Indian supermarkets? That's weird.

>>19339378
That's just American goyslop, doesn't compare to authentic Padrón peppers.

>>19339850
All peppers are American, necknuts

>>19339859
Many vegetables that originate from the Americas were perfected in Europe.

>>19339863
delusional

>>19339866
It's just a fact. Same with potatoes, tomatoes, cocoa and many others.

>>19339869
You know we don't really export the good stuff, right? Like France and cheese

>>19339414
I think I know what you mean, when I first tried them I thought they tasted like artificial watermelon flavor. it grew on me though
>>19339850
I’ve had padrons in spain a handful of times, serranos have a better chili flavor, padrons taste like shishitos, both are good but they’re more green and vegetal tasting than serranos. Best tasting chilis are pueblo or hatch though and this is a fact. second place goes to aji (I count them as one category)

>>19339878
>she thinks anyone gives a fuck about her hatches and anaheims
lol

>>19339378
I grew two jalapeño plants last year and they produced so many I got sick of them.

>>19339378
They're too small for stuffing. Which I presume is how a lot of people eat jalapenos.
I have both plants in my garden though. I have several chilies.

>>19340322
hatch green chiles are legit special. if you haven't been in northern new mexico in the fall when the whole state smells like roasting chiles when you walk outside, i just don't know what to tell you. it's a thing.

>>19339378
serranos are great for a lot of purposes, but i prefer jalapenos in my morning pan-fried veggies. similarly, i prefer habaneros in my sauces, especially rich sauces and gravies.

>>19339430
>yellow habanero-like pepper
seven pot?

>>19339423
*weak ass p-word pepper.

>>19339378
Just made me think of Miguel Serrano for some reason

SERRANO DEEZ NUTS

With every meal

>>19339378
THATS A HECKIN SPICY PEPPER THERE HODY

>>19341508
No. It's not nearly that wrinkly and from the description, it's not that hot, either.
She says it's just called "sweet pepper" at the store and that it isn't from her country but from Venezuela. She only uses it because she can't find the one that's actually from there where we live but this one tastes the same. She also uses scotch bonnets. She puts anywhere between half of one up to two total in most dishes she cooks but the yellow habanero-like thing she uses liberally. It goes in fucking everything and in rather large amounts.

All chilies taste the same only the hotness varies. People can't tell the difference in blindfold tests.

>>19343140
you're insane. habaneros are sweet, poblanos are notably bitter. Jalapenos are pretty bland, banana peppers are an odd flavor that ends up really good for pickling.

>>19339378
they taste like green bell peppers but not spicy
so i buy jalapenos. that taste like green bell peppers but sometimes they've aged a little orange/red are a bit spicier than bell peppers, since that's all walmart has.
my local mini fruit/veg store went under and has new owners. they changed the pepper and spices corner to a "nobody will buy this fucking boxed pasta" corner so now I can't even get habaneros.

>>19344473
well i was redundant there. serranos are easier to cut green bell peppers*

>>19339378
>$130/kg
>affordable
they're only affordable if you grow them yourself

>>19339378
Jalapenos are too weak I always get serranos. Every once in a while though I'll get a serrano that is like 10x stronger than normal and blows my wig off.

>>19344532
i've heard the "scratches" marks on the skin denote a spicier pepper, similar to uglier misshapen tomatoes having more flavor. but i don't know if that's fat scene girl cope or actual vegetable knowledge

>>19344503
lol? They're $0.99/lb where I shop. Which is less than $0.10 each.

>>19344552
>$0.99/lb
I get great deals on just about everything and I can't get them that cheap. They're about $4-$5/lb or so for me (idk, cuz they're sold in bags of 10-12 for $1and they weigh 8-10g each).

>>19344461
>poblanos are bitter
Eh, I wouldn't say that necessarily. They taste unripe/green. Red poblanos, as rare as they are, have an almost chocolate-y slight bitterness to them, tho, so maybe you have a more developed sense of taste than I do and detect that in the green ones while I just can't.
