Thanks for the heads up! That is the same pepper as Grandpa's Siberian Home Pepper, right? I have more than a dozen of those plants ready to bump up to larger pots for sharing with friends, and for some reason I had it in my head that it was a sweet pepper. I will have to be careful who I give it to. ;)
Yes, that's another name for it! It was labeled as "Semi-Hot."
😂 he will never admit a failure. I friends like that. I grew up eating very spicy food so when I say "this is spicy" people usually take my word for it.
I had one friend that ate some of my cowboy candy and was sweating like crazy rest of the meal but wouldn't admit that it was spicy.
He can normally handle really really spicy peppers no problem. That's part of why I was surprised and alarmed by him acting like he'd just eaten his Pepper X sauce. Pepper X is rumored to be 3.18 million Scoville heat units, while Grandpa's Home is a much more modest 40,000 to 60,000.

Maybe I have a magical touch for making hot peppers hotter. 🤣

My first reaction…… is to answer

Or not!

I guess that would depend on if you actually like that victim, er FRIEND !!!!

I'd probably never do it on purpose, but it'd be suuuuuper funny if you accidentally game someone these "Sweet peppers."
🤣

I used to grow Jimmy Nardello sweet peppers. My husband would toss the seed and stem part to the dog. Dog liked them enough that he figured out how to go snuffle through the plants, bite off and eat the peppers. He beat me to them. I often thought about sticking a hot pepper in a plant……

Nappa's started bolting, so I made a tiny batch of kimchi for my husband. I'll start nappa's again in August as I've heard they do better over winter here.
