Dear Ruth and Joanne. You guys have a different taste to us in Australia I have been to the US and had a taste of what you called mild chilly I could not speak for an hour .I don’t think there is such a thing as mild Red peppers. We do use a little of the small red peppers in cooking just enough to cover a thumbnail in a large stew that’s about it .I even seen you guys putting salt on a rock Mellon (canterlope) we put sugar on them. Love to you both Sidney.

Sidney~ there are many many kinds of peppers and yes chili's can be hot. Red peppers like green peppers, like yellow peppers are very mild.

The peppers are roasted or grilled bringing out the sweetness in the pepper.

Green peppers are actually more bitter in taste than red and yellow, but roast all beautifully.

Enjoy

Yep, my father used to salt his watermelon before eating it...I always thought that was kind of gross, but he loved it.

Love, Joanie
