Still completely mild though. Bishops has more heat the closer you get to the seeds and placenta. Great flavor as well. All 3 varieties were pickled last year, and we're tasty. Zavory was a frequent snacker for me in the garden though. Growing Trinidad Perfume this year to compare a yellow variety.
Thanks for the information. : ) Good to know about the green not quite as tasty either. I've grown the Bishop's before, both the hot and the sweet. Thought I had tags mixed up for a bit as I did notice the heat in well ripe Bishop's Hat.

Arroz a new name for me. Gonna have to check it out. Also check my notes too as I had Trinadad Perfume in the super hots category. Probably my mistake. It gets hard some times keeping track of who is hot and who is sweet-like.
