slo’s MONDAY 1/22 poll - Pepperoncini Peppers

[TiggerTrigger]

We ordered Papa John's the other night and all of the pepperoncinis hit the trash. If they're on a sandwich or in a dish that someone else is making, I'll eat them...although, depending on the batch, they can be bitter. I think that's why I don't usually reach for them. Heat I can handle to a certain degree, but bitter not so much. I prefer banana peppers if I'm going mild, but don't mind the spicier ones for a little heat on a sandwich.

What? No "Love" for Pepperoncini Peppers?!?! Kind of disappointed I could only choose "Like"......

I know, I know - I originally had love as an option but then removed it when I didn’t have enough spaces. I wish polls had more than a 10 limit max.

Mods - if you’re reading this - more poll options please - I’d like 12 - please & thank you

For my DH, that's the only reason for Papa John's. Every one goes to him. I live with a hot sauce manic. We have at least 6 assorted bottles at all times. Most times more than 10 bottles opened at once. This is for pizza, that is for veggies, that goes good with rice, etc. I think his taste buds have burnt out.

Thanks for the reminder.
Down to my last ones in the jar so onto the shopping list it goes.

Oh and I’ve only ever had the mild variety.

 

[hertamaniac]

They are excellent on pizza.

 

[Moliphino]

I don't generally eat them and have never bought them. I might eat one or two if they're served with other food, but don't like them enough to seek them out.

 

[1420Elexismc]

I love them on a salad or a grinder/sandwich

 

[KPeterso]

Don't like peppers at all so would never eat them or buy them.

We have a local pizza place that our family loves. They have a chef salad that I like to get. We go so often now that all the people know to make my salad with no peppercini and extra tomatoes and olives. I figure I am saving them on the peppercini so they can give me the extra tomato in exchange.

LOL. I only buy them for Mississippi pot roast -- It's a favorite of DH's (well, until he saw the stick of butter on top...).

We're a two hot sauce bottle family I keep Crystal around for Cajun/Creole and Cholula for Mexican/Tex Mex. Everything else is pretty much dry ingredients/blends to add heat...well, except for the stuff for seafood boils like crawfish.

I like them a lot—Greek salads, pizza, sandwiches, pot roast. Always a jar in the fridge. I can do either hot or mild.

 

[loves to dive]

I like them mild. Oddly enough, I never buy them at the store but if they are on a salad bar or at Subway, I always get them.

 

[MIGrandma]

I don’t like them, and don’t buy them. DH likes them so if I order something in a restaurant that has them I give them to him.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

I don’t buy them, but I’ll eat one or two if they come on a salad.

Wouldn’t like them in a sandwich. (I don’t like much ‘extra’ on a sandwich.)

 

[fly girl]

I like them. I usually get them with the garden hot vegetables. My favorite is the hot cauliflower, but I cannot find that solo so I will get the mix blend with the peppers too.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I don't really eat them. I do sweet green peppers on a beef sandwich now and then.

 

[Meriweather]

We like them. Mild in a jar. Always a jar in the fridge.
Mostly on salads.

We like banana peppers too

 

[amcnj]

I don’t think I have ever purchased them. I have had them on some restaurant salads. The ones I had mostly had that pickled taste. Once I do recall not finishing them due to the flavor. I thought it was the pickling but maybe they were hotter ones?

 

[leebee]

The mild ones are OK and I'll eat them, maybe, if they are in a salad or something, but I don't think I've purchased a jar more than once or twice. I much prefer banana peppers; I buy the rings to put on pizza and sandwiches.

Refrigerator staple, mild, both slices and whole. Perfect for jazzing up a frozen pizza. I use a whole jar, juice and all, when i make slow cooker Italian Beef. I use the whole ones in that so I can pick them out easier before I shred the beef. That way you get the flavor but don’t freak out people who don’t care for them. yumm
