Peter Peppers are a variety of pepper that are raised in Georgia and are medium-hot on the heat scale. They normally grow to be 4-5 inches long, sometimes longer.
Here’s a photo of them.
Here's a single one.
And some on a bush.
And they also come in yellow.Here's a little gnarly one:
I’m really perplexed as to why they’re called “Peter Peppers”. Maybe the tongue-twister had something to do with it.
However, I think they would make an excellent product for me to sell along with the Raging Relish - - something like Piper’s Pickled Peter Peppers would surely be a hit. It could be my second product in the line of my pepper products. (I’m currently working on "Chipotle Chutney" - - - doesn’t that sound yummy?)
I was wondering how to get my hands on them and after quite a bit of searching, I found an on-line supplier of Peter Pepper seeds.
So, if you would like to grow some for your own personal use, you can order them here. They're only $2.65 a packet.
And if you have any ideas as to why in the world they’re called Peter Peppers, I’d surely like to know.
Okay ~ do we really need to say it ~ it's cause they look like a PENIS ~ which some call a peter or a pecker so a very appropriate name indeed! How about Peter's pecker peppers.
ReplyDeleteThese are from Georgia? How have I missed seeing them. Perhaps they are considered to risque for Krogers.
ReplyDeleteYour pickled relish line sounds delish. I'm very fond of chipotle peppers
They DO look like little weewee's! How fun!
ReplyDeleteLike look HOT, are they? Do they grow when you rub them?
:-)
Wow! those really DO look like "peters".
ReplyDeleteDude, duh! They look like pee-pees! *grin*
ReplyDeleteP.S. Are you really producing the relish now????
I'm so glad everybody else said it so I wouldn't be the one to have to do it.
ReplyDeleteThey are called Peter Peppers because the name 'Holy crap!..Those look just like penises' was already copywrited.
ReplyDeleteI love the names of your products. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteAs for those things coming from Georgia, I grew up there and never saw one of those anywhere. But I am not a pepper expert, so I may not be the best source to follow.

Seeds are rare, and most plants are grown from private companies just for this reason
