They look all different, but have an effect that can be expected from a chili pepper. However, this one is absolutely different, not only in shape:
These seems to be Scotch Bonnets. Their shape closely resembles a Scot's bonnet. It is among the hottest of all peppers, as I had to learn. A week ago, the first fruit was ripe enough to be taken. Gatín made a stew and put just one chili pepper in. He made only a small cut into it. OMG, this stew was like eating the purgatory.
My swim teacher brought this chili pepper from the Caribbean. She tried to find out, whether they turn out to be hot in the Swiss climate too (without telling me). They do!
Scotch bonnets have a heat rating of 150,000-325,000 Scoville Units, this is only beaten by the Habanero.

Now you can see why poeple from the tropical countries do not have to take any medicaments to exterminate their (eliminate) parasites, they just instintively have the desire of have a nice well prepaired hot meal with these wonderfuls chilis. And the problem is solved. Gatin
Scots bonnets (pronounced bunnet) usually have a mass of wild red hair poking out from underneath them! Now that's a chili pepper I'd like to see! ;-)
