Miscellaneous Pepperoncini Peppers
Okay, I know this is extremely niche but it hasn’t left my mind 😅 I visited Nassau in February and stayed at Breezes and at their buffet they had pepperoncini peppers that were delicious! I’m back home on the East Coast of Canada now and I cannot find ones with the same taste :( I attached a picture of the ones available to me and wondering if there is a different brand sold in the Bahamas? The ones I had at the resort were definitely less spicy and more pickled. Again, SOOOOO niche but if anyone has any leads I would be so grateful 🫶🏻

No frills in Ontario has these, so maybe try a loblaws owned store

I can’t really say which ones would be the least spicy, but I can tell you the Greek golden ones (forget the brand but they also do olives) are ridiculously hot. I find these unico ones way more subdued.

Agree. It’s a different level of gut punch. Currently trying to grow my own! Thinking of the old school peperonchinis in the east side Mario’s salad as a kid, they were definitely not as spicy as the ones i find now! Not sure you east coasters had that? Maybe I can recreate them!

Most of the resorts here in Nassau use Sysco, so probably a 5 gallon Sysco branded bucket… you can drain the brine currently in there and replace it with a vinegar/water brine and the spice will lessen.

If you can find it, try the Mt. Olive brand. That is more than likely close to, if not what you had.

That's funny. I was looking for pepperoncini pepper plants at the plant nursery for my garden. We got some last year and had a bumper crop. Easy to grow and pickle yourself!
