Jalapeños!
Trade Fair Supermarket on 30th Avenue and 31st Street in Astoria, NY, is the only place I've seen ripe jalapeños other than the Greenmarket. I prefer them because they're sweet as well as hot. Most people like the green ones. I picked through this lot to get a dozen beautiful ripe ones. I eat them with meals.
Back in the '70s, someone developed a mild jalapeño. I don't know why. The problem is that most growers don't bother discriminating. You can eat one jalapeño and it will be very mild. Bite into the next one and it's pure fire. It's Russian roulette with hot peppers.
