I bought some of these in morrisons, can anyone tell me if they are a type of hungarian hot wax.  they are about 7 inches long, lime green, and quite hot.

I'm thinking of saving some seeds.

Cheers.

I don't think so, Sally, but very similar, I bought some a little while back. Thin flesh though, but sweet, so good multipurpose. And the heat is tolerable, to me, just nice to eat.

Cheers Gobs, might give them a go. I quite like the heat levels for popping a couple of slices in sandwiches.

Is that maybe the type they use in Greece (and Italy?) for pickled hot peppers?

I don't know, they don't google much, I only bought them out of curiosity, but I'm quite impressed.

Did you see this?

Yes, but I can't get the picture up.  these were picked at lime green stage and are quite hot, also as they are 7" long, I can't imagine them growing in the upright position.

I just went on a Spanish - English translator and Caliente means Warm, so perhaps it's just a generic term.  there was no variety named on the label.

Also Tierra Caliante, part of Mexico, so would guess, any pepper coming from there could be dubbed as such.

ive seen them but never bought them as they looked very similar to some mysery peppers i have grown the last few years....although when green they werent hot so maybe they are different, next time im in morrisons ill get some and try them to see how they compare.
