Hi I guess this might be an odd request but I have a fetish for Kebab shop chili peppers and would like to try and grow the correct variety.

You know, the ones that come in the poly container about 6/8inches long thin and light green
in colour.

I visited my local takeaway and the Turkish guy said they are called "Tursu" but on checking
this is the method of pickling rather than its actual botanical name.

Ive had it suggested they are "Jalapeno" or "Hungarian Hot Wax" or "Banana" but the truth is I cant seem to find the written word as gospel one way or tuther.

Any suggestions folks...

Cheers

Gazza

Type chilli into the search.Theres loads of info. there

I forget what variety they are, but I know the ones you mean if you have a spare hour or so you'll find the answer here http://www.chillisgalore.co.uk/phpBB3/index.php

[compostqueen]

I think they could be jalapenos, which are easy to grow from seed and widely available here

[stompy]

They're not Jalapeno's.
They are longer and thinner than them.

I found that one too but i dont think it's that one either.
Imagine a wiches long thin gnarled finger but light green rather than dark green 

Correct me if im wrong Gazza.

Hate to correct you my friend but they are 100% jealepeno, no doubt about it.....

I thought they might be Jalapeno (as I get 'em with my kebabs as well) but they seem a bit bleached out if you know what I mean?  Maybe its the pickling process as they taste as if they have been pickled - does anyone agree?

Pickled Jalepeno's are what they use in the kebab house at the end of my road

apparntly Tursu is a type of pickle http://www.agriculturalproductsindia.com/pickles-condiments/pickles-condiments-pickles.html so mabey if you could get a pic of the chilli from the takeaway then between us we could come up with what type it is
ours sell Pickled Jalepeno's and im sure that someone could come up with a recipe for pickleing them

They are pickled and yes this blanches the skins slightly, got a load i grew last year, pickled some and they are exactly the same as the ones from kebab shops

There are loads of on-line retailers out there who are really passionate about chilli.

If you look a few up and get in touch, someone will know the right varietal (and sell you the seeds too no doubt).
