Well, you have a point there, but if it was me the gardener would be doing the cooking more often.

Green is the mildest, then yellow, with red having the most heat. Very subtle differences and if you like the heat of hotter peppers it is easy to miss the difference.

For me that is not the case with bell peppers. There is no heat at all. The green are the least sweet with the red being the most sweet.

I honestly can't tell them apart in taste and have never eaten one that had any heat in it. But, the combo of red green and yellow looks good in dishes like fajitas

Why do packs of peppers comes in red, green and yellow when I personally can't stand the yellow pepper.

Respecto for giving the yellow pepper a chance Mendip, but I'm not buying it.

One of life's great questions!

Nice looking meal Mendy and a great idea. It was pep, very pep but the liver tasted nice so that was a bonus.

I agree

I think some research about these peppers is in order.

I decline to answer on account I might have to admit it...

Padron peppers are great

I thought the yellow ones were the sweetest.

As stated, I'd like to see how people go in a blind taste test telling them apart. TBH there's not much taste in them in the first place. And they're capsicums you fucking heathens

Bell peppers score 0 on the Scoville scale as they do not contain capsaicin.

Correct, they are all the same and change colour (and taste) depending how long they have been on the vine.

Defrost some pork mince, that's what. Then knead in finely chopped red onion, an egg and some salt and pepper.

I pushed my boundaries today.

So you fucked up the burger patties and chucked the slop in the peppers?

Ruddy hell, the amount of stick I get for my culinary cuisine and even i can taste the notable difference.

Very interesting. I stand corrected!

Pork Chop, Baked tater and Italian spiced shrooms with a very nice IPA.

Happy Friday !!

I would wind it in a bit.

Haven't you got a goal difference spreadsheet to study?

^^

Shit, I will have to grab one of those on my next Costco run. I need gas and jerky anyway.

I am traveling back in April for my youngest daughters wedding and some customer visits in late April. Will be doing my Costco run to stock up and bring back.

Oh, I do apologise...I thought he was being sarcastic about your haute cuisine frozen pork and kneaded onion stodge in capsaicin free peppers with lumpy mash

For what it's worth, I can tell green bell peppers apart from the other two.

No, PAG was being 100% genuine... I reckon. Eating vegetables isn't a crime, you know.

Anyway, you obviously have a day off today. Why not settle down inside with all that snow out there and watch a movie or something? Maybe a Western, that's what I'd do.

I can in the daylight. I'm going to have to test this at night. I didn't realise my meal would provoke so much discussion!
