Guest guest Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Several years ago, my therapist told me to take Cayenne peppers with each meal. So I take about a spoon full before I eat my food. A farmer friend raises them for me, and I grind them into powder and keep it in the fridge. I grind them myself because that way the powder is fresh and I can make sure there are no moldy ones in the mix. This last summer, the farmer's pepper crop failed totally, and today, I finally ran out of pepper. I thought I'd go to the Mexican food store across town to see if they would have some. Well, they had lots and lots of peppers of all kinds, but nothing labeled " Cayenne " . The manager didn't even know the word " Cayenne " , they didn't even know the Mexican pronunciation of the word. They must be called by another name in Mexico. There were several kinds that look suspiciously like Cayenne, but just to grab something, thinking it might be the right thing isn't a game I wish to play! My question is: What would Cayenne pepper be called in Mexican? John Garber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 John, I am of part Creole descent, I do not think Cayenne is usually a pepper that Mexicans use, it is mosly used in Creole/Cajan cooking and so you may have better luck finding it at a health food store than a Mexican food store.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 :-) Cayenne is what ALL peppers are called--it's the name for the capsasian in the peppers. It's like the family name, your last name. Then everyone has their own first name, which are the names you see in the grocery store--jalapeno, poblano, habanerro, etc. Those names just basically tell you which branch of the family and heat the pepper has. The habs are the hottest. So you can get any of those peppers (any pepper actually) and have cayenne peppers. Your trick is to find the same type as your friend was growing for you. Shape is one way, though there can be many different heat values in the same shape. Like there are hot banana peppers (which are long skinny peppers) or mild banana peppers.
