Hello, again, Penny,

Yep,It is likely that you had your first jalapeno:)  In many of the
Mexican restaurants around here they serve them fresh, sliced into
strips, or rajas, and as pickeled. They are also common as a  condiment
served on the plate.

I was also surprised, the first time we ate in an Armenian restaurant,
that they are also served as an appetizer, along with pickled turnip.

The round peppers you refer to, which I knew as "cherry peppers" in NY,
are almost nonexistent in this part of the world, since most Italian
restaurants serve pepperoncin (aka Greek peppers in Eastern
Mediterranean establishments) as part of antipasti.

I hope the peppers did not receive a chile reception:)

Ron
