Question of the day! Are Ubatuba aka Cambuci peppers the same as Christmas bells or Bishops Crown or Mad hatter or Jokers hat? Am I forgetting any saucer shaped peppers? 🤔😵‍💫 The only thing I've heard consistently is mad hatters have more heat than the rest listed, but never had the chance to compare...anyone tried them all?
