Identify this pepper

[Coop]

One of my colleagues originates from Hungary, she likes spicy foods just as much as I do, so we're constantly comparing eachothers peppers & hotsauce. Now she went back to Hungary for a week, and when she returned, she brought me some mild peppers, but the taste is quite nice. unfortunately, she wasn't able to tell me what kind it is, so I hope you guys & girls can help me identify them...

The CD is in there to give an idea of the size.

Could be some Kalocsai variety, there are several as far as I know. That's all that comes to my mind. Well, on the other hand... just because they were bought in Hungary does not necessarily mean it's a hungarian variety...

Looks like a Hungarian Hot Wax or Banana variety to me..they can be 6-9" long easy

IIRC, they start yellow and turn red later.

I agree, Quad, i got given one of these the other day, it was not hot at all though. My research concluded with the hungarian wax pepper.

Yep its Hungarian hot wax :)

Looks too slim to be HW to me.

[QuadShotz]

Well, they are a bit long..But otherwise they look right:

Lots of folks grow them in the u.k inc me and they grow thick and thin sometimes similar to Hot banana and other banana types..anyway its a year of weird pod types :lol:
