So it's gardening season here at the house and the parents have been planting things all weekend. All kinds of herbs, vegetables, and flowers. My favorite thing that we're planting this year are my peppers. Serrano and Cayenne peppers to be specific. O they are so cute! I'll take some pics and post them soon but they are my precious little plants! And in about a month of so, I'll have my first crop of fresh chillies!
Okay so I've used chile and pepper to describe my plants. What's the difference? Is there a difference? Yes! There is. Chilies are traditionally from Asia. They are in the spice category and (in my opinion) are decidedly hotter than peppers. Peppers, on the other hand, are from Central and South America. Mostly larger than chilies and used as vegetables rather than just a spice.
So there you have it. The chile and pepper are a world apart but.. yea no witty sayings here tonight. That's it in a nutshell. No matter what you call it, it's gonna be good.
Cook to live; Live to cook; Glory to God in all,

Clever! And yes, it is, a bit "Chile," in here ^_-
ReplyDeleteBTW, I think the cayenne peppers are going to need to be transplanted into the veg garden soon. They are getting pretty big where they are right now.
