Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well here in Quebec we call the red pepper - Capsicum quite regularly or Poivre de Cayenne in French, sometimes referred as Cayenne Pepper in English too.

But what do you call the red sweet pepper? — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 In French we simply call it Poivron Rouge, or red bell pepper in English (which is the mature green bell pepper - the green pepper is not ripe). So the green bell pepper is called Poivron Vert. Whether they are green, red, orange, yellow, purple or very dark, the sweet ones are called Poivrons. Capsicum is the hot stuff although some varieties are sweeter than others. I have traveled a lot in Mexico, Central America and in some South American countries. There must be hundreds of peppers of different shapes, tastes and " hotness " . Some kinds can create a nasty burn just by contact. Others are as tasty and light as mangoes. It's a whole world. Which ones are Legal? With my 1 full week SCD experience I wouldn't even try to guess.

Bourouba, I haven't yet encountered any peppers that weren't legal, but I have encountered a number that people would be very wise to avoid until plenty of healing has taken place. For myself, I prefer to keep the Scovilles at the lower end of the scale.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hi Mara, My partner & I call peppers- capsicum. We're in New Zealand & that is what it's commonly called here. If you call capsicum-peppers they could be confused with peppers of the chilli kind. Oh,I have heard them referred to as "bell peppers" too.

Gillian,Contact the webmaster. <g> If you have a list of names, we can add it to our files here, as well. I know a few -- zucchini = courgette, eggplant = aubergine, pepper = capsicum. Where do they call pepper capsicum? I know it's the Latin name, but I've never heard it as the common name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
