I'm not eating any peppers.
On Monday, a raccoon paid a visit & totally stripped my 2 pepper plants (1 yellow/1 orange) of peppers. He also ate all the Sun Gold tomatoes within reach.
The birdbath was filled with dirt, leaves and pieces of pepper & tomatoes.
I provided him with a nice buffet and a fingerbowl to boot! LOL!

I had to laugh though. I have a Habenero plant with LOTS of nice VERY hot peppers on it. Mr Raccoon apparently picked one & started to eat it. I think he probably wanted to dive head first into the birdbath after that one! YIKES! SUPER HOT!!!

He returnes the next night (I could tell by the debris in the BB) He just ate whatever scraps he found on the ground. He left the Habs alone.

Here's a shot of the mess.
