chillis for pickling

[snakeshack]

have a good crop of peach habaneros,jalapenos,cayenne and scotch bonnets this year,now SWMBO is asking me to grow "some of those ones they do in the kebeb shop" anyone know what variety would be suitable for pickling in this way

[AntonyM]

The kebab shop ones are Jalapenos, but you could experiment with any variety.

Look for a italian brand of pickled chillies called Lombardi Peppers. We use them in work but not sure on the breed tho sorry=[ Im going to go out on a guess and say they are called Lombardi haha. Hope that helps

try this link
Chile pepper varieties

It shows the lombardi variety. Doesn't help with seeds though of course!

looks like you can get a plant from Cross Country Nurseries but not until next season........ChilePlants.com Home Page

Depends on what type of pickling you want to do.
Do you want to be using dried chillies or fresh chillies?

[AdrianH]

The type of chilli seed to look out for is pepperoncino which is an italien heirloom variety. (I think the Lombardo referred to above is a pepperoncino).

Try Pepperoncini Pepper Seeds - Italian Heirloom Pepper Seeds - West Coast Seeds

They are definately the sort that come on kebabs in my locality. To pickle, salt them first overnight and then rinse and drain, then pickle in a half and half water/vingar solution and you'll get pretty close to the kebab shop style.
