Hi C-H's,
No Jim's podettes didn't look too much like datils to me either, but
I wasn't going to argue with my host! (Yes - I WAS THERE!!)
The only datils I have grown were called "Sweet datils" and were
almost completely zing-less. However they did have pods which looked
like the illustration on page 71 of "Peppers of the World" by DeWitt
and Bosland. Pod length 3.25", pod width ).75" color yellow or red.
In fact Jim's looked like the ones on the opposite page - pod length
0.5",width (I think the authors got this wrong) mature color yellow.
From Brazil and "very pungent".
