If I had to guess, I'd say they're Hatch aka New Mexico chilies.[0] Once roasted, the now blistered skins are easily separated, discarded, and the remaining fruit can be consumed and enjoyed.

- denton-scratch 4y agoThanks. I'm a brit, and can't get fresh chillies from the USA or Mexico. I have a stash of dried Mexican chillies, and I can buy fresh chillies from the Netherlands, but they don't say what the variety is. There are quite a few UK growers that produce fresh chillies, but they're usually Habanero, Ghost or Reaper; they mainly sell them bulk to makers of hot sauce, not retail. And some middle-eastern shops sell ultra-mild large green fresh chillies, that I think are used in shawarma wraps and greek salads. They have no heat at all.
- voxadam 4y agoHonestly, if you enjoy fresh chilies and you're in Europe I'd recommend growing them. The seeds are small, light, and inexpensive to ship. As I understand it, chilies quite forgiving and easy to grow. You could order the seeds from the regular suspects or try something like r/SeedSwap.[0] [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/seedswap/ https://www.reddit.com/r/seedswap/
