Yep, CJ and I love these things. Nice blend of crunchy, sweet and
peppery. Great on sandwiches, burgers, salads, etc.

I discovered them about 6 mo ago in the deli spread at Stop n Shop.
There was no name and I thought they were pickled cherry peppers,
mildly hot and sweet, soft and crispy. I was so smitten with them I
brought some to work to share.

This weekend an out-of-town friend was visiting and while we were in
Whole Foods, she said she wanted to see if they had this new treat
that was a cross between a tomato and a pepper that she couldn't
reliably find back home. Surprizingly they did have them (at the
olive bar, no less) and they turned out to be the little peppers I
liked. I was amazed that we both independently, 400 mi apart, fell
for these things.

Investigating on the web I found this:

Try them if you get a chance!

Wow. I must learn more!

Thanks for the review. I think a jar or two of those peppers might also
make for a good holiday gift for a colleague of mine. I have never seen
them before, but I will stop by the Whole Foods store near my office to
see if Peppadews are available there.

They look kind of like radishes. I stay away from radishes because they
lay on me for some reason. Do these Peppadews have the same texture as a
radish?

We sell them at the wine and cheese shop. They come in a plastic bag
with a sort of vinegary liquid surrounding them. They're good, very
popular.

I've read the web page that says they're a cross between a tomato and a
pepper, but I wonder about that. I suppose tomatoes and peppers do
belong to the same botanical family (Solanaceae) so it is possible, but
I'd guess that peppadews are a type of hot pepper that's been bred to
taste sweet as well. I'll check the package at work to see if it says
that sugar has been added. (That would explain it if it is the case.)
I wish I could taste a fresh one.

I like them very much. A little warmth but shouldn't scare off those
who don't care
for high heat. Nice pepper/fruit flavor.

Oh god I love these!
The local Lunds sells them with these little mozzarella balls mixed in. I
could eat a whole little tub with french bread.

At Whole Foods they are in the olive bar section. You spoon out how
much you want by weight into the plastic takeout containers.

No, they have been hollowed out (the seeds and membranes removed.
They look like miniature red peppers.

I discovered them back in August. They were FANTASTIC as part of a picnic
sandwich. (I posted the sandwich recipe September of last year. Google for
"pan bagnat."😉

Well, YOU are allowed to call them anything you want. Sellers of
similar products aren't.

I've just gotten home from work where I checked the ingredients list on
the plastic bag the peppadews come in. It reads:

Sweet Piquante-Peppers, water, sugar, vinegar, salt, ascorbic acid,
calcium chloride.

I'm more convinced than ever that peppadews has nothing to do with
tomatoes and are a type of hot pepper. The flavor is still intriguing.

I don't think they are tomatoes either, but I can see how my friend
thought that just by looking at them.

I still have a half jar of 'Peppadew' (on the label). They're alright I
suppose, but the sweetness doesn't taste at all to me like it's from the
peppers, and it lists some kind of sugar on the ingredients (the same
flavour and sweetness could be achieved VERY easily by using ordinary, small
sweet capsicums, and just marinating them in sweetened, cayenne spiced
vinegar/liquid, just like some spiced sweet peppers I have half a jar of
too - can't tell the difference apart from the 'dews are red, the others,
green). These were part of a chile products gift set I was given - I would
buy more of them.
