Yeah IMO the taste of Franks was pretty average, nothing special. We all adore Jimmy Nardello for being so tasty.
Pimento type peppers can be really sweet and of course they're truly juicy with thick hard walls. I'm trying to remember another name but will have to dig out my pepper seeds to tell you which ones I tried. They were all decently early although some pimento types are a good bit smaller than bells or fryers.
One of my favorite peppers is an 'Italian Pepperoncini" I got originally from West Coast Seeds. They are thinner than Jimmy N, but very prolific and tasty, with just a small and totally inoffensive heat on board. They start out pale green and ripen red, and I feel the pale greeners are not as bitter unripe as the dark greeners, but maybe I shouldn't generalize.
I guess it really is time to dig those pepper seeds out.
