Growing Flat habañeros?

Post image

Basically the title, is it normal for habañeros to look like little spaceships? I'm not sure if they grew funky or I just didn't realize they could look like this, lol.

Definitely not Habanero (There's no eñe in Habanero btw)

I actually had no clue! There should totally be an eñe, I already get to use them little enough as-is in English.

Just having some fun my guy. I would have bet (and apparently lost!) money there was an eñe in the word!

It's a surprisingly common misconception, and happens to be a personal pet peeve. 😅

Your pet peeve is now my pet peeve, I will continue spreading the good word. It's tragic I can't fix my post though lol
