Sweet Peppers - an Oxymoron?

When most of us think of Chilli-peppers, the image that usually comes up in our mind involves a torrid inferno in the mouth burning up large swaths of taste-buds. Teary eyed and with a runny nose, as we looked around for cold water, we are probably contemplating whether the tongue would be able to tell any subtle tastes after this torture?
But lovers of Indian (or Mexican, Thai, Chinese...) cuisine have palates masochistic enough to go back for the delicious pain again and again.

So, when you hear the name - sweet peppers, doesn't it sound rather like an oxymoron? Probably does. But these are delicacies that are worth a try. They have plenty of the bold flavor of chilli-peppers and none of the fabled heat. The absence of heat probably taken to be a sign of sweetness, hence the name. I agree, the bar was set rather low for sweetness

The possibilities are endless: slice 'em up and toss 'em in salads, on pizzas, on burgers and sandwiches, oven-roasted and topped on crackers with cheese, or just munched raw with the food.

Without going over-board shall we say, the results are adequately satisfying. :-)
