    I like to try different varieties each year, and Tomcat turned out to be a good choice this year. After washing and photographing the above fruits I decided to get a photo of one halved and sliced to see what the interior looked like. I don't like the paper-thin types, but Tomcat's side walls are at least ΒΌ inch thick and are crisp and crunchy. And they have a good peppery taste as well. These might do well for freezing too: I'll have to try them because I like green peppers in chilies for flavor.
