Of the few that I have eaten ( mostly labeled as 'spanish peppers') the
red ones, I find have nice heat and flavour. But I have come across yellow
varieties with a distinct unpleasant flavour, that I would not consider
using in any food, except mayby in dried and powdered form. ( That is my
opinion but "de gustibus non dispuntandum est" )
