Puzzle Description:

Bell Pepper. It does not produce capsaicin which gives other peppers their "hot" flavor. Also, bell pepper are technically fruits even though they are used as vegetables in cooking.

And if you're Edward Weston, they're good for fine art photography.

Yum, peppers!

Nice solve. Why not make this red or green?

nice lls
the one tricky (and crucial) square fairly early on that is not so obvious to see is the dot in r13c10
otherwise you will be left to using edge logic until you find that dot

#5 - good question. I'm not sure if I have a good answer beyond I'm just used to doing 2 color puzzles in black and white.

Thanks all.

Fun! Now I'm hungry. Lucky for me, I just went to the store and bought some sweet peppers and onions and hot Italian turkey sausage, and a head of lettuce, and I'm going to make myself a fajita salad.

Yum!

many of our "vegetables" are actually fruits. Peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers...if the "vegetable" has seeds - it's a fruit!
#17: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jul 14, 2011
Isn't that interesting! And rhubarb is not a fruit, it is scientifically a vegetable (but legally a fruit in the US since 1947). And cereal grains are both fruits and vegetables. I am so confused!

is budweiser a fruit?
#19: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 15, 2011
The hops are a "female flower cluster" so that's close enough to a fruit for me. The barley is made up of seeds, so that can also be stretched to be called fruit. The yeast, however, is a fungus. :)

You mean there really is a fungus amoung us?
