Peperoncini

Peperoncini are a variety of the species Capsicum annuum, like bell peppers and chili peppers. They are also known as Tuscan peppers, sweet Italian peppers and golden Greek peppers. While called peperoncini in American English, in Italy these particular kinds of peppers are called friggitello (plural friggitelli) or more generally peperone (plural peperoni) like other sweet varieties of peppers, while the term peperoncini (singular peperoncino) is used for hotter varieties of chili peppers. Peperoni should not be confused with pepperoni, the English name for typical Italian spicy salami.

So today me and DeVan and Jazmin decided to take a trip to Olive Garden and DeVan was paying so you know I was down. You know how you get those free salads and breadsticks? Well yea, there the best. It’s just hard because you want to eat so much of it and suppress the fact that your food will be out shortly but you’ll be to full off the breadsticks and salad to eat it. Anyway, once we got our salad, we noticed this weird green looking pepper- like thing. It kinda looked like a jalapeno, or maybe a green pepper, well none of us knew so we asked the waiter...I think his name was mike or something, he informed us that it was a peperoncini. Well DeVan and I decided to make Jaz the taste tester. She looked as if it was the most scrumptious and decadent pepper looking thingy she ever consumed, so we proceeded to try a piece. Well she lied and tricked us good. It tasted like throw up mixed with hot sauce mixed with fat peoples sweat and old sock juice. No lie, don’t try it...I don’t see how such an extravagant restaurant could serve something so repulsive! I felt like Olive Garden should have paid us to eat it. Anyway, if you see this so called peperoncini in your food and you proceed to eat...and die....don’t say i didn’t warn you.
