The wife, when she bought all sorts of plants for the garden, bought a cow horn pepper plant. She just picked the first of the crop, and it does look like a cow horn. As she was showing it off, I asked if it was a hot pepper. She didn’t know, but before I could google it up. She bit off a bit of the end. Yo Baby...it was hot. She was barking, cussing, and hopping around for a time. Fun to watch, though I tried not to laugh, which might have been a real bad idea.

So...Cow Horn Pepper - hot.

You laughed at her? This is the same woman with the chain saw, right?

I used to grow cow horns but they were always mild.

There are different kinds of cows and their horns look different. So what kind of cow's horn is the pepper supposed to look like?

Mine too.

Looks scrumptious!!!

Hudbone, I didn’t think she’d chainsaw me over me laughing about the pepper. She has, however been very active with that little chainsaw. I need to hide that thing. She’s working me hard picking up chunks of what she has sawed up.

Here’s chainsaw girl. She does love her chainsaw. And her Kubota.

Tell your lovely wife to join us on the gardening thread. We deal in truth not facts.

Equivalent to jalapenos which generally are too hot for me. Yes, I know, I'm a wuss when it comes to heat.

I assure you that there is no pectin in this pepper. I only planted it because I felt obligated after my neighbor gave me 3 plants.



Planning to add it to my marinated salad to add a little panache.
