Going in the order of the bags I'll work thought them a few at a time, but right now I've been informed we need more pumpkins to carve so I've got to be quick and run out for two more;
#1 Pequin Chiapas - Nice pepper flavor, fairly thin flesh, heat level just about a 1, less than my jalapeno's this year. They're not terribly seedy, I'd think these would be good for general use diced peppers for my omelets.
#2 Cap Chacoense - Not much flavor, slightly metallic taste. Heat level a 3 or about a serrano level to me, and it hits quick which might be masking any other flavors. These were just little seed monsters, extremely thin flesh. I'd probably throw these in stir fry or a rice dish to add some pep.
#3 Chiltepin 496 - These had more pepper flavor with just a little sweetness before the heat creeps up on you. These were a little hotter still, about a 3.5. A little more flesh to seed ratio than #2, but not much. These I'd think would be great dried for a little more heat than your standard pepper flakes.
More to come later, after the jack-o-lanterns are done!
