Charts like these always make me wonder if anyone is breeding peppers for flavor and not just heat. Don’t get me wrong, I like several of the ones close to the top, but I also like a pepper that tastes good.

There's lots of stuff on the bottom of the chart. Did you ever try ajvar (bell pepper paste)?

Bell peppers taste like plastic to me.

I don't think they use exactly the same kind of bell peppers for ajvar as the one they sell in supermarkets. Fruit tend to be more tasteful when they don't have to look pretty. There's "hot" ajvar, too - not enough to make anyone sweat, but it has a certain spice.
