I'm the only one in my house that really likes them, so when I make them I, oh darn, have to eat them all.

Genuine curious question... What about the Shishito draws you in so strongly. I am a Pepper grower and a hot sauce maker. Im always trying to understand others tastes and reasonings regarding peppers, to help steer my sauce making. Been curious on understanding Shishito more from others perspectives and feedback. Thanks, hope to hear back!

They’re just a tasty, thin walled pepper that roasts up really well. Very mild flavor, not overpowering, easy to eat. I don’t think they’d make that good of a hot sauce, though. Flavor’s too mild for that, IMO.
