I bought several pepper plants at the start of the season and one of them has done extraordinarily well. These were supposed to be Jimmy Nardello peppers, which are a sweet variety. I harvested some recently and roasted them with a little salt and olive oil and nearly died after the first bite. They turned out to be very, very hot, about as hot as a cayenne pepper.
I was rather confused until a couple of weekends ago I talked to a grower at one of our local farmer's markets and he said that there was a seed mix-up at one the major suppliers of starts and that it was likely mislabeled. I have no idea what these actually are, but I'm going to dry them and use them (very judiciously) as a seasoning.
