    Hey Tony; your baby pic looks like you got a hold of an HABANERO pepper...

    Love hot peppers; love to make salsa with them. Love to cook with them.

    til you cry??? lol my hubby LOVES habaneros but doesn't eat them raw or straight; I use the juice or powder VERY sparingly and make food MUCH hotter than I like for him to enjoy it as "flavorful".

    Biologically fruits. Even most of vegetables also.
    Practically neither.

    Since they "play music" on the "way out", people tend to classify them as a fruit (even though biologically they are a vegetable).

    Sorry. They are biologically a fruit, not a vegetable just as a tomato is a fruit. We eat them as a vegetable, but they are a fruit. Chili peppers are from the same family (nightshade, a poison) as tomatos are. If the seeds are inside, they are biologically a fruit. Cucumbers, pumpkins, squash and others.
