JAMAICAN PEPPER I can't say enough about this pepper. If you like it hot, this one's for you. The plant, if grown with proper care, can reach five feet in height. These lantern-like peppers grow under the leaves, and when ripe mature from deep orange to fiery red. Similar to the habanero, only mine is bigger, better and yields more. The Jamaican has a great flavor without the aftertaste of the habanero. Great to freeze and enjoy all winter long. That one oughtta have you jumpin' your sombrero

More on Sault, but i need emanuala-- there is a resturant in NY, Saltenbucco (spelling might be wrong) i am told its an idiom from italian, that means delicious--literally, it means "it jumps into your mouth". (that sault/salt jump root is clear)
there is also a oxtail soup that is often called saltenbucco, too. you sometimes see it on a menu in real italian places. (there are tourist places, and real italian places)--and in NY southern italian places are more common than northern-- red sause vs other sauces is a basic area of differentation. i personally like southern italian (often not italian, but rather sicilian) Tourist-y places skip interesting dishes like oxtail soup.

Our two entrees, pollo vesuvio and vitello saltimbucco, are common fare at most Italian restaurants, but the preparation of these dishes can often go awry. ...

helen, you are right about the word but I think it is probably saltimbocca (although names of dishes get warped over time, and across the ocean). Saltare means to jump, and bocca is mouth.
