I had a "ball chilli", it was red, tasted like nothing and was full of seeds to the point where it felt like you were just eating a handfull of chilli seeds. That would have to be my least fav yet Joe.
 
Um.....some chile that Hot Pooper let me sample when we first met up at Quaker Steak. It was black and small and round. Tasted bad and lit me up.
 
bulgarian carrot,goldon cayenne were also a bust for flavor

My bulgarian carrots were very tasty, full of seeds, but a unique flavour that I liked, the heat level about a 6 and grew in intensity. Where I am disappointed with the bulgarian carrot is on how few pods that each plant produced.

I remember in highschool, one of the chemistry classes conducted an experiment where they handed out these small strips of coated paper that students would put into their mouths and then described what they tasted. I tasted nothing but I remember other students making horrible disgusting faces and noises about the fowl taste. So, this shows how taste can differ in people, I can't remember what was on the coated paper, only that we were told it was safe.

I am disappointed in Hot Portugal, which have absolutely no heat value and are full of seeds, mine taste like a unsweetened red bell pepper - I hope the plant dies soon so I can use the container but the thing is still producing pods and is currently one of my best looking plants. I was disappointed in my tepin as they tasted like ceyenne but had a heat level of 9 but only for a very short time like acid hitting my mouth for less than a minute then nothing, the pods were about the size of an pencil eraser head and full of very hard seeds - this year the plant turned 2 years old and never produced 1 pod. I ate a hungarian wax and was disappointing but then someone pointed out that I should have eaten it when it turned red, I ate it yellow/green and didn't do my research before hand - I thought they turned yellow when ripened, dah, I have one ripening right now so I will give it another test in a couple of days.
 
Most ornamental types taste pretty terrible to me, as do the Whippet's tail, Indian pc-1 and the Peter pepper. I'm also not a big fan of any cayennes, especially when fresh
 
We've been disappointed in the taste of the 2 Trinidad Scorpions we've tasted. I remember a harsh chemical flavor, whereas most of the other superhots had some redeaming flavor. At the NW Chilehead party in September, we all took a nibble of the scorp and everyone went "yuck" compared to the flavor of the other chiles we'd been eating.

We also like the bulgarian carrot. Thick flesh, yes lots of seeds, but they're easy to scrape out of theres too many for your taste. And our 2 little plants were pretty prolific producers.

I don't mind the Peter peppers. I think they will work well as a filler for some dried pepper flakes. The red peters will mix with chile de arbol, and other red hots like a few bhut and 7 pod. I have fatalii powder, red savina powder, bhut powder, and those are used very sparingly in our cooking. Just a little sprinkle does the job. So I'm looking forward to making a medium heat chile blend. Probably be about the heat of the red chiles at the pizza parlor.

This probably isn't helping you very much, since one person likes it and another person doesn't~ :lol:

I wonder if the Beagle guy has hit on something in his videos, with certain peppers maturing further with some sweetness if picked and left to sit for a week or so before eating?

Don't scare me about the Scorpian flavour, I'm thinking of ordering some seeds for next year - which is only 2 months away.
 
Its only the Butch T that I find nasty

Ouch, that's the one on my list, I took off douglah based on other reviews saying it was nasty - I think I'll just added both on the list, then I will now for myself.

Sounds like zinc. I was told that that depending on whether or not you had a deficiency you would taste nothing or you would taste something nasty.
