This spring I was regaled about the mysterious and wonderful qualities of the obscure Chocolate Bell Pepper that was a favorite of Cyndi’s. In fact I think I was somehow involved in a secret pact with the Master Gardeners to hide some of the plants so Cyndi could acquire the plants.
So now that it was pepper season I was presented with an early fruit .

It does indeed appear to be chocolate toned, but i decided to give it a little halfway Weston treatment before digging in. Tasting Notes: It tasted much like a red or yellow pepper. Nice and sweet, but it was also very young which could contribute. No chocolate taste so veggie haters everywhere can now go and pout- no easy out on the vegatable front.
