Next time we order from Papa John's, I'll try that.  Of course, I could
call and ask someone there, but it won't be the same.

They are whole.

Maybe those green peppers in the Papa John's pizza boxes are habanero
peppers.  All I know is they sure burn my lips and that isn't a rumor.

My ex's sister put cayenne pepper in her potato salad (something I never
heard of before) and there is a fried chicken place down here that spices
their fried chicken with cayenne pepper.  I don't care for spicy food that
much, although if the spice is mild enough, I can handle it.  New Orleans
cooks, back in my days there, didn't use that stuff.
