I feel that I've lived a pretty clean life. Honest, diligent, kind. Perhaps not a role model but generally on the side of good and decency. So, why is it only now, after decades of living, am I discovering these cute little drops of heaven called sweety drop peppers (native to peru?)? I could eat 100 at a sitting (well, they are only the size of my fingernail). I discovered them this weekend. I've been eating them non-stop. Plain. In cream cheese on a bagel. In ham sandwiches. In omelets. In a lemon butter sauce for fish. "Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned."

Never heard of them. Are they hot at all? I'm always down for trying new peppers. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

The ones I got were pickled. They were sweet, crisp. Not spicy - let's just say it lightly pinches your tongue then stops. I'm not sure how they are supposed to be used. But they are small, crunchy, sweet, mildly spicy so I've been just adding them to everything  I think they would go well in a taco or burrito. Or grilled cheese sandwich."Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." L.Tolstoy "A government is just a body of people, usually, notably, ungoverned." Shepherd Book | |||

I like peppers, so I had to Google these things. https://sweetishhill.com/what-...sweety-drop-peppers/ Known as “Sweety Drops,” these small, tear-shaped peppers originated in the Peruvian AmazonAlso known as Incan Red Drops, Sweety Drops have a sugar-like sweetness and work well in salads, pizza or pastas, or even in baked goods. This is a unique type of pepper that grows in the Highlands of Peru. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

I vaguely remember running across them in San Francisco during the Free Love years. I think they were grown in someone's back yard...didn't really think much of them at the time. They are available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Swe...176&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 No, Daoism isn't a religion | |||

My experience was similar to the OP. I was introduced to them at age 65 in a seafood restaurant in New Bern, NC. And, yes, they are pretty damn tasty. | |||

Misread thread title as 'Sweaty' Drop Peppers.  They sound tasty - very glad I got that wrong. | |||

So are they pimentos? Or did I misread the article linked above? _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||
