Do you have a preferred variety of chilli pepper?

Chillies are one of the things that grow easily in my greenhouse, and also a useful crop because they are relatively expensive to buy, they are quite prolific and they are easy to store and don’t take up a lot of space, so I can grow enough to use throughout the year.
I’ve tried several different varieties though and I can’t say I’ve noticed an awful lot of difference, I generally just use them interchangeably.
This year I grew ‘Thai dragon’ (pictured) and ‘Apache’ varieties.

I grow many different, but my favorite are the round Italian "bacio di Satana" (Satana kiss), that we serve filled with a mix of tuna, capers and mayonnaise. I also grow jalapeños and the very small ones from the south of Italy (davolicchio), very hot.

@Fleura I have seen the round Italians sold in specialty stores in jars, already filled.
I have a photo here, the round one on the right is the bacio di Satana, the smaller with the leaves are the diavolicchi, the others two are common paprika.

Yes, I do... I like all chili peppers that are kept far away from anything I'm likely to eat.

@Fleura Thank goodness they're on the other side of the pond from me. Please keep them there.
