Comparison review; Cheiro roxa, Fidalgo roxa and CGN21500

I`m calling these 3 The Roxa Family. Many thanks to Ajijoe for the pods, you are a star my friend!
 
The plants are extremely similar and the pods have a lot of similarities in looks, too. This is the first time I`ve eaten all 3 together in one sitting and I believe the differences in flavor and heat are enough to be able to tell them apart in a blind tasting. They obviously have a lot of overlapping flavours, but each one has it`s own distinctive characteristics. 
 
Of course, they are all incredibly delicious and well worth growing. Wonderful varieties!

thanks your friend Joe
 
As usual - a great review. Makes me want to run out to Allentown PA and grab some seeds----but I do think I want to try that 21500 for sure. I am a woose when it comes to chopping them. Pepperoncini is my chopping pepper,
Well thanks again
 
Nice review.  I received seeds for the CGN21500 from another member, and I'll grow it next year.  Besides being
a pretty pepper, maybe I can eat this one fresh or pickled.
 
Thanks for another great review, Nigel.
 
I grew both Chiero Roxa and CGN21500 this year and was surprised at how much I like them.  I probably favor the CGN (as of now) for its large size and fleshy pod.  Mine seemed about as hot as the Chiero, but a bit more fruity - albeit I don't have an advanced palate.  Plus they sure are pretty additions to the garden!

That`s what happens when you keep Parrots. They aren`t being nasty, just behaving like parrots. I don`t have feathers for protection, so they take chunks out of me when they want to "discipline" me  ;)
 
Ok first I want to say you'll never be a hand model. I knew those were parrot love bites long before I scrolled down. I have had many of those same bites on my hands as well.
 
Now for the review. Simply incredible once again, I had just purchased all three varieties to grow this next season wondering which one I'd like best. You must of read my mind because I was hoping some day you would review and compare all three of these, of course I did not expect you do it in one sitting. But your always full of surprises. Thanks again Nigel keep up the good work.

Wait a minute, my biggest fantasy is to be a hand model, so you`re saying I might not have a shot???  :cry:
 
Do you still have parrots?

No just a bunch of chickens now.

We had Silkies I hatched from eggs I bought, but they all got eaten by what we think was a Mountain Lion (I found tracks and spoor) in spring this year. We were`t happy.

Tried to PM you. Not going through. Will try later. Yes a Lion, Bobcat, Fox or Coyote all like chicken dinners.
 
Great concept for a review. Certainly enjoyed it.

I watch enough of your reviews, it would be nice if we could get the state board to approve them for CE credits!
