“Round of Hungary” peppers are slightly less sweet and possess a texture that is more dense than a typical (ripe) red bell pepper. The flavor is similar to a red bell, but more savory – hints of spice and a very mild bitterness. I have plans for these puppies…
Diced and pickled they take the more familiar from of a ‘pimento’ (think about the little red thing stuffed into an olive). When the fruits are dried [sometimes smoked] and ground, you get paprika. Now you know where pickled pimentos and paprika get their start.
