Greetings, ChileHeads  -  The other day I was at the grocery store (Super
One Foods) in my town that has a large Hispanic population, so the grocery
stores have a lot of Mexican products, and I ran across a type of pickled
pepper that I had never seen before, and I am always checking that
particular area of the supermarket.  It is made by "Embasa" brand and is
called "Güerito Peppers."  They are small, yellow chiles and look like a
smaller version of Trappey's "Santa Fe Chiles" or other ordinary yellow
pickled peppers of that type.  They are very good and hot enough for casual
eating.

There are two dots over the U, which I have never seen on a Spanish word
before.  I am assuming that it is to distinguish the pronunciation of the
word from such a spelling as "Guerra" (war).  "Guerra" is pronounced
"gwerra" so probably "Güerito" is pronounced "goo-erito."

Does anybody know anything about this pepper?  Thanks.  Rob
