He's an idiot. We were using peppers before we got our hands on chillies.

Tell him Peru and Thailand have more varieties of chillies to burst his nerve.

If by peppers you mean black pepper, sure. But sweet bell peppers are the same species as jalapeños: Capsicum annuum.

Green, black, and white pepper (three life stages of peppercorn) along with long pepper, horseradish, and ginger.
