I'm going to Subway with the hour and ordering a chicken salad. When I think of hot peppers, I think of those small green and red peppers that are extremely hot. Do banana peppers and jalapeņo peppers count as hot peppers?

Yep! You can have them as part of your measured veggies every day.

Yay! One of my favorite recipes (even before IP) is to get a nice beef roast and put it in the crockpot and pour a jar of pepperoncinis (with the juice) over it. In a few hours - yummy! So flavorful!

That's sounds great.

I a hot blooded Portguese woman. I need my hot peppers!! If I couldn't have them, IP would be a no go. (Only kidding)
It was one of the 1st ???? I asked!

Try it. I am telling you, it is fantastic. It has been a staple and family favorite around here for years. Of course, the skinny-folk in the family have it on rolls or rice, but I even enjoy it plain with some sort of veggies on the side. And it's the easiest thing you'll ever make.

Eu tambem! My secret salad dressing ingredient is pimenta moida, but I never posted to salad dressing questions because I didn't think anyone would know what the heck I was talking about!

Where are you in MA???? I am in Portuguese Country.

Me too... in FR, very close to "the longest bridge in the world"... if you've heard that reference

Mmm I keep sliced pepperoncinis in a jar in the fridge and toss them on my salads all the time. So good!
