This doesn't feel sufficient. There are so many varieties of peppers that are red or orange. Like, if someone said use an "orange pepper", you'd have very different dishes if you chose a habanero instead of an orange bell pepper.
C'mon now, you're being difficult and pedantic. If a recipe wants you to use a habanero, it's going to tell you explicitly. No recipe written in English that's worth following is going to refer to a habanero as an "orange pepper".
If someone said Peppers it means the green, orange and red peppers. If the said Pepper it's the salt and pepper type. For a jalapeno it would be chilli pepper.
It works here anyway.
If it wanted a habanero pepper it would say habanero pepper in the ingredients. The populations of Ireland and the UK don't seem to have any issues getting things like this mixed up.
I've seen people make similar statements when they learn we say "Torch" instead of flashlight and they wonder how we don't get mixed up with the ancient flaming Indiana Jones style torches.
