Mild Peppers
There is now a mild red pepper of about the size of the bull-nosed pepper, which is used as salad with salt and vinegar and oil like cucumbers, or may be used in meat salads, where it makes an ornamental decoration. All old varieties of peppers were fiery in quality after they had ripened, even the sweet mountain pepper becomes too hot after it turns red, and were always cooked when green. Sometimes a dash of flavor is given by a single pepper chopped fine, and added to a piquant stew or soup, and a sweet mountain pepper is chosen for this purpose.
