In the sausage and pepper thread only sheldon and maybe one other
mentioned the fact that he was using the wrong peppers. Although I
like green bell peppers they're not the best on a sausage sandwich.

shemp calls them frying peppers which from what I can gather is more
of a catagory. Here's a seed company page with what they call frying
peppers and the real names of the plants. The only one I regulary see
in stores is the Marconi.

I don't know about that company but most of our container garden this
year came from Baker Creek. They've got some of the same seeds. I
recommend this company. They even have Melrose seeds which until
recently at least were only available in Chicago.

This is a history of the Melrose pepper. It's the pepper of choice in
Chicago for sausage and pepper, Italian Beef, and pepper and egg
sandwiches.

Two others that would be in the "frying pepper" camp would be the
Ramiro and the Ancient. Ramiro is Italian and Ancient is considered
European. Ancient is almost always availabe here.

Banana peppers are also good but it's a crapshoot as far as how hot
they'll be.

Hungarian Wax peppers are similar to Banana peppers and also vary in
heat. Sometimes I see them labled hot and they really are hot! Damn
near jalopeno's but with more flavor.

I've mentioned all this before in bits and pieces but now it's all
together so I can easily make my shopping list for next year.
