Hot green peppers at Pizza Express

[spp]

Does anyone know where I can get some hot green peppers that pizza express use? Or anything similar? I had some of these today: http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda...illies_Pickled_in_Brine_And_Vinegar_290g.html

and while similar, they weren't quite what I was after. I suspect the pizza express hot green peppers are pickled in brine and vinegar. BTW these aren't to be confused with jalapeños.

On which pizza? The only ones I think I've had there have been pickled jalapenos.

Referring to this menu, http://www.pizzaexpress.com/pdfs/files/PEX633_CORE_A_Main_LR_2011096-111007.pdf, the American Hot mentions you can have a choice of "hot green, roquito or jalapeno peppers"

The hot green peppers are so tasty, and I just wish I could get some for myself.

Just a wild stab in the dark but maybe its the Fresno pepper? A non ripened one?

Hmmm, I'll check that out, see if I can find some pickled ones, thanks.

Nah fresnos aren't hot enough for that I don't personally think.

Good evening all.

I long searched for the answer to this question, and this forum was the closest I came to it.

The day has now come where we can all rejoice in knowing the truth, I have found them. I bought them today at Waitrose, they are Fragata (brand) Spanish hot peppers (guindillas), and as far as I can tell these are exactly them (except Pizza Express deseed and finely chop there's, hence why when I bought them I was doubtful).

Eat well my friends

I was all ready to assume you were a spam account and ban you but that's actually quite useful information, thanks

Epic bump to actually answer the question, and with your first post too. Kudos

I love these too, Sainsburys used to do a pizza that had them on about 10 years ago and I prefer them to jalapenos since then really.

When I still lived with my parents my dad would always have some (or similar) in the fridge so i'd add them to pizzas or pasta then.

You can obviously get them on the Pizza Express American Hot and Diavolo retail pizzas (For which my workplace makes the boxes )

Takeaway wise Papa John's have them as "Sliced Pepperocinis"

Aren’t pepperoncini’s the peppers they stick in with kebabs? I love those.

I think so, yeah. They're pretty delicious.

Interesting. I figured they were something with a little more heat than a pepperoncini. I'll see if I can find some seed to grow this year.
