0 Antonia - don't you have some context -- how is it used in the recipe? In American English, "red pepper" would usually refer to a "bell pepper" (#2 in Pieanne's list), which is a fresh vegetable that can be used raw in salads, sauteed, stuffed and baked, etc. Dried groud hot red pepper that comes in a jar and is used as a seasoning would usually be called "cayenne pepper." How is your red

0 Thank you both. I now the difference between bell pepper and pepper, but I'm confused with peppers in pieanne's answer number 1 and 2. But it can't be solved because lexically they are not different. As far as the context is concerned, perhaps the amount will help: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper (It could be both!) Nevermind 02br
