in Fruit & veg
I was ironing and didn't catch the name of the chillies that the chef on GW was growing, did anyone else?
Also, what is a good chilli for cooking with and adding to curries. For a curry, I like a little heat, but other than that I like ones that are milder and fruitier. Any recommendations?
Finally, if I take some pimiento de pardon chillies from the supermarket, can I use those seeds and get pimiento de pardons chilli plants for myself. Or am I best buying seeds from a good source. I know if I buy foxgloves, they cross pollinate and set seed they can change colour. Wondered if this can happen with veg/ salad/ fruit seeds in the supermarket.
Thanks, Tina

I think they were 'naga' chillis. Possibly naga morris or morich
I grow a range of chillis, including pimientos de padron this year (first time). I bought seeds from a chilli specialist. I've not had much success germinating seeds from the supermarket ones but that may just be my ineptitude. You could always give it a go and see what happens? I would assume where they are grown it is reasonably 'mono-culture so there's a fair chance they aren't crossed. They do do cross pollinate very easily though, like foxgloves
I also grow one called 'palivec' and a 'locoto' type, both of which are fruity rather than fierce
