Intheswamp said:I will let ya'll know what I think about the taste. And I agree, that the majority of folks that I've spoken with enjoy the flavor of the Shishitos. I think Newyorkrita probably grows as more peppers than anyone I know of and is very knowledgeable about peppers. She really likes the Shishitos but she is also in the northeast. I'm wondering if soil types are truly affecting the taste of these. That makes sense to me. I guess if soil is affecting the taste then it has to affect the taste of other vegetables, too, eh? And, it could be a regional "taste" that all of us have...what we're somewhat accustomed to eating. I like pepper taste but not necessarily really hot peppers. Stuffed jalapenos and pickled sliced peppers are about it for me...occasionally a green cayenne to nibble on when I'm feeling adventurous (and I've got peas and cornbread to go with it). And, of course, I like tabasco sauce on my cooked greens. But, the really hot peppers that people seem to go crazy over I care nothing about. Yeah, people have different tastes in food. We'll see what mine thinks of the Shishitos. I'm thinking positive!!!
