Can a gardener or someone familiar with vegetables tell me what these are? (pic included)?!
Someone from work brought these in the other day for everyone to help themselves to so I took a few thinking they were jalapenos!. I put them on our tacos last night and they are definitely NOT jalapenos!. They are not spicy at all, and have very little if any juice in them!. I'm usually very sensitive to anything remotely hot and these did not taste spicy at all to me!. So what are they!?

looks like cubanelle peppers!. no, they're not spicy!. they're kind of like bell peppers, but a bit more flavorful!. a more 'peppery' taste (without the heat of jalepenos)!.

As mentioned above, I agree that they look like Anaheim (or California) chiles!.
You should roast them over a burner or under the broiler if you have an electric stove!. Roast them until the skin chars black, place them in a bowl and cover to steam!. Afterwards, peel off the skin, deseed and chop!. It's now ready for any dish you want!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

they are just a long variety of green capsicum or pepper!. They are also not very fresh too which might explain why they were dry!. The skin is all wrinkly, a sign of staleness!. I bet they are a bit rubbery too!. A fresh capsicum is firm with smooth shiny skin!. they are still edible tho, they wont hurt you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I grew a variety called "Garden Salsa" this year!. If left on the bush - they turn red and are more ripe thus more hot!. When they're green they taste very similar to a Bell Pepper!. They look very similar!.!.here's a pic!.
