I have never found anything but the very mildest tingle from any of the shish**os. I have heard that Padrons, a Spanish look-alike, referred to as pepper roulette. Unfortunately, whenever I grow them, I get more hot ones than not hot ones, with an occasional screaming-hot-blow-your-socks-off hot one. Still tasty, but a lot more bite than the sh...os.
