Peter pepper

[POTAWIE]

Has anyone grown the peter pepper? Pepper looks like a man's unit. I haven't grown it, only seen pics but hear it makes humorous pickles (with small white onions) I don't know if I'd even want to eat one, but a great novelty. Someone let me know about the taste. Too salty? LOL

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! That's a great idea! I didn't even think of the using pearl onions!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

[DaveinCoalinga]

I grew it a couple years ago, really didn't see the resemblence in the ones I grew. Thin walled, not really anything special. I am growing both a yellow and red one this year though just because the seeds were there. The red ones had a little better flavor, but still not impressive. However the pearl onion idea....

I'm not even going to comment on this thread, it's just too easy.:hell:

[bubbaschili]

i say we rename the peppers to the lorana bobbit peppers
sorry defcon had to reply or i would have died.

[DEFCON Creator]

Instead if Peter peppers or Lorena Bobbot peppers, how about Hobbit's Bobbit's.

This is becoming a thread not suitable for a family forum fellows...

I know it's an easy topic to tangent on, but please, a little decorum, is advised.

Decorum. Isn't that what people do to an apple before cooking with it?

[Cap'n Bones]

I'm growing one Red plant this year just for kicks. If it produces, any ideas on what I can do with the peppers? Salads? Salsa? Sauce? Gag gift?
As for taste, what type of pepper can I expect these to taste like?

THX, Cap'n

[bubbaschili]

[darlochileman]

I think hotlinked images from outside websites(unless your own site or a site that is specifically set up for hotlinking) are not allowed by the terms and conditions...

[Tina Brooks]

SOP for bulletin boards (not just ours) doesn't allow anyone to link to someone else's site without their permission. Which is why I linked to the URL instead.

To understand, every time we look at the picture, we would be using Ebay's bandwidth to display the picture here. That costs Ebay money and could leave this forum open to a lawsuit.

So to get around that, you can hotlink to their URL directly, as I did, ie, sending our posters to the Ebay site, using their bandwidth to display their picture, or you can download the picture you want to use, using the picture stored on your own site displaying the picture using your own bandwidth.

Either way, we can't have our site using someone else's bandwidth without their permission.

If anyone has any questions, feel to PM or email a moderator. We're here to help.

If it tastes so terrible... why bother to grow it more often than once?

I grew this last year purely for the novelty factor. Im not wasting my time and space on it this year

[setzuanfire]

Yup, not very tasty and not very hot. I've got 4-5 qt. jars of them from last year, might try to mix them with something else before I dump them out. I hate to waste anything, but peter peppers are yucky! Maybe I'll puree them to use as a critter deterrent! brookthecook

[POTAWIE]

Would the peters dry well? Maybe a ristra would be cool.

[bubbaschili]

i sure wouldnt want to see what one looks like dried out.

[Tina Brooks]

Talk about a psychological threat to manhood. lol

Honestly, with the bizarre shape to them, I can't seem them even making a good ristra.

[setzuanfire]

Pasilla bajios have that kind of wrinkle/ribbing, but i've never seen those in a ristra. Are p.p.'s any good dry?

[Tina Brooks]

I've never seen one in the flesh, never mind dried.

[imaguitargod]

I've never seen one in the flesh,
"in the flesh", hehehe, peter pepper...flesh...hehehe...ok, I'm getting my mind out of the gutter...

[Tina Brooks]

It must be that California water, huh?
