Chile grower Sebastiano Marrone sends these photos of some rather unusual pods from his pepper garden. ‘Biquinho’ is a Brazilian variety that very little is known about. The name means "little beak."  Rocoto Longo (long rocoto) is a stretched-out version of the Peruvian rocoto that is usually apple-shaped. It is native to the Canary Islands. ‘Aribibbi Gusano’ is called the "caterpillar pepper" because of its unusual shape. It is from Bolivia and its flavor has citrus overtones. –Dave DeWitt
