Default Semi Sharp Peppers

There is a pepper sold at several of the vegetable markets in the Milwaukee area that is referred to as a semi or half sharp pepper. It has been for sale in this area for well over thirty years although sometimes the only market that I could find it at was the West Allis Market. I believe they are a Hungarian or Romanian Medium or Semi Hot type pepper. These peppers are similar to Szentesi or Romanian, but are slightly wider at the top and are a little bit more blocky in overall appearance. At one time the only vender of this pepper that I knew of was Knapps Fresh Vegies and that was at the West Allis Market. These peppers make fantastic stuffed peppers and a wonderful sweet spicy paprika if dried when they become over ripe and start to wrinkle. I would like to offer seeds from these peppers as a SASE, but I need to know what to call them. Carol (Knapp’s Fresh Vegies) care to comment? Anyone?
