My red pepper has a parasitic twin!

I found this little nubbin when I pulled out the center portion of the red bell pepper for our fajita dinner tonight. You would think it was kind of adorable because it’s like a mama pepper with a baby pepper inside. But it’s strangely the exact opposite. It’s just creepy and alien-like. The boyfriend proclaimed it was the big pepper’s parasitic twin. I agree. Just don’t google image search it.

    I’ve seen this before in other kinds of peppers and it is always kind of creepy :-\

    Yeah, they always creep me out, and I haven’t seen one that big. Hope the fajitas were good, I’m gonna make some this week, myself.
