I am growing random hot peppers, including some that are from saved seeds. This type is growing. I have never grown a pepper of this shape, yet I bought no new seeds for this year. Any ideas?

I think it’s Bishops Crown.

It does look like that (I googled). But I never have had any Bishops Crown seeds or plants. I wonder how I got one.
I actually used Google Lens with your picture because I thought I recognized it. Here are some I grew in 2019. I think I got the seeds from @bogman
The green ones.
I think they are baccatum species. Some species are fond of “mingling”. There may be others it resembles, or it could have cross pollinated.

They look like a pair of testicles.

Agreed. Though, I’ve never grown Bishop’s Crown, on purpose. There are a lot of Capsicum baccatum varieties that are easier to process, wash & deseed.

I’m pretty sure that was the basis for @kaleokahu’s answer.

Well, they are turning red. I harvested one. It has no heat at all, a nice sweetish flavor, but is not a useful size to grow in the future.
And i was trying to figure out the literary basis for that comment.

Well, he was reputed to be quite the gourmand.
I was going to write it in French, but google translate tells me that referring to a male, it’s the same word in either language.
