    Last year there was a salmonella alert in Canada on American jalapeno peppers. Maybe bottled would be safer ?

    Some turkish supermarkets sell them. xx

    ETA: by turkish supermarkets I mean the big Turkish shops in the London area; not going all the way to Turkey and shopping in their Tescos :D

    no they are quite a bit different; have a different flavour and even look different, its hard to describe unless you see them in real life. The turkish shop near me sometimes sells tomatillos, a fruit in the tomato family that is used in salsas and some other mexican recipes xx

    The skinnier the chilli, the bigger the kick. 2 exceptions are the Birdseye, and Scotch Bonnet chillies.
