Beagle, I grew both this year also..and yes I eat them fresh,they taste very hot, like maybe close to a Tepin ,annuum taste, but juicy like a frutescense..they do have a bit of an oily taste ,I cant place it. if youve tried Chacoense then you know what I mean. but the plants themselves are very beautiful, mine are about 7 feet tall and stay full of tiny purple flowers.
