Hi Guys n Gals

I keep hearing 7 Pot or 7 Pod are they the same thing or completely different? I thought it was just 7 pot because it was hot enough to heat 7 pots.

I say 7 pod! The reasons its the 7 pod is because the rumor is its hot enough to heat up 7 pots of chili. But I firmly believe that its 7 pod. however that's just my opinion.
 
Wasn't there a thread about this some month ago. Its called 7 POT according to that thread anyway.
Now a new question, how does it look like unripe? Shold it be dark green or light green?

Cuse i have 2 diff 7 Pot plants from 2 diff sources one is light green and one dark. I do not dare to taste!!

7 POD thats how seeds were marked as. the coloer should be dark green
 
They are both the same plant, have both 7 pod and 7 pots growing in my garden. I don't like to change the naming of the pepper just to suit my preference so I keep what the seed came labeled as. I received seed direct from Trinidad on several occasions and they are always labeled as 7 Pod from SR. Others will insist it's 7 Pot, sometimes I use the name interchangeably to keep the flow of a conversation. :cheers:

I am sure it wont be the last time someone asks it either as when we are shopping for seeds they are advertised 7 pot but when we come to forums like this we hear 7 pod so it gets confusing.

Yes that does make sense. I would do the same too
 
It's merely a linguistic difference. Many germanic types pronounce t's with a d and others vice versa. It's kind of like r's and l's with orientals.

It depends on the variety. My Yellows were dark green and Jonahs light green.
 
sorry guys but I'm going to say 7pot/pod, the reason is 1 pepper pod is enough for 7 pots of stew or what ever.... (/ means per) i.e. there for 7 POTS PER 1 PEPPER POD....... 7pot/pod
 
I spent many many years searching for 7 pot/pods before they were really known about in these parts, and back then it was unknown whether it was 7 pot or 7 pod so I always labelled them 7 pot/pod.
These days I call them 7 pods because I now know that is what the landrace variety is called in Trinidad

I would prefer to call it whatever the locals in the country call it too but if they have split views on it too...........dunno.
