Which way around is correct?
« on: June 02, 2016, 12:54:33 »
Is it Black Hungarian chilli or Hungarian Black chilli?
I've been writing it as Black Hungarian but I've seen them listed as both ways and I just wondered which one you think is right?

Yes but to confuse me more if you use google translate with Paprika magyar fekete it interprets it as 'Pepper Black Hungarian'?

This is why I gave the literal translation and word order as used in Hungarian.  Makes absolutely no difference either way, but you did ask for the exact order of the words and I tried my best to help.  Maybe just one of those cases where the original name ought to be used however difficult to spell and pronounce, rather than several differing names, that are possible translations.   :glasses9:

Yes you're right, although the spelling on some can be a nightmare, original is often best. I guess it doesn't matter too much in this case which way it is written, as there are no other similar named varieties for it to be confused with.

Yes it's a lovely one, very pretty with dark black fruits which ripen bright red, not too hot which suits me!

Very true!  A case in point are the tomatoes Bonnie Best and Bonner Beste.  Looks like a translation but they are two different tomatoes.  :wave:

Yes it does look good and very pretty.  Like a slightly hotter version of Tsygansky Baron, which I am growing this year, such an attractive colour of the fruits.  :wave:

Didn't have a lot of success with mine a few years back but I have got better at growing chilies since then.  Didn't get much off them.
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!
