They aren't easy to find, Andy. I live in a in N. California and you
really do have to hit the right market (we have lots of ethnic hispanic
markets here). I'm not even sure if I've seen one in recent years. My
brother grew them when he lived in San Diego, so maybe that's where I
saw them. Anyway, since it's a mild pepper, Anaheim should be a decent
substitute.
