Pimiento

A pimiento (Spanish pronunciation: [piˈmjento]), pimento, or cherry pepper is a variety of large, red, heart-shaped chili pepper (Capsicum annuum) that measures 3 to 4 in (7 to 10 cm) long and 2 to 3 in (5 to 7 cm) wide (medium, elongate).

The flesh of the pimiento is sweet, succulent, and more aromatic than that of the red bell pepper. Some varieties of the pimiento type are hot, including the 'Floral Gem' and 'Santa Fe Grande' varieties. Pimiento is an originally Spanish term that was added to English (a loanword). The fruits are typically used fresh or pickled. The pimiento has one of the lowest Scoville scale ratings of any chili pepper.

Pimento (Portuguese pronunciation: [piˈmẽtu]) or pimentão ([pimẽˈtɐ̃w]) are Portuguese words for "bell pepper". In Portugal and Portuguese-speaking Africa and Asia, pimenta refers to peppercorns and chili peppers are known as "piri piri" or malagueta, while in Brazil, pimenta ([piˈmẽtɐ]) alone conveys chili (malagueta being a particularly hot, small variety) – pimenta-do-reino (i.e. [Portuguese] Kingdom's pepper) is used to refer to peppercorns.

Pimento (Better Call Saul)

"Pimento" is the ninth episode of the first season of the AMC television series Better Call Saul, the spinoff series of Breaking Bad.

Plot

Jimmy and Chuck begin making preparations for their lawsuit against Sandpiper Crossing. Chuck warns Jimmy that their attorneys will attempt to file a restraining order to keep him out of their property, but Jimmy is confident he can prevail. At the courthouse, Jimmy prevents the restraining order from being filed. Upon returning to Chuck's house, he finds that Sandpiper Crossing's attorneys have sent numerous boxes of paperwork that they must file a response to in an effort to intimidate them. Chuck does not believe that he and Jimmy can handle the case alone and suggests that they refer the case to Hamlin Hamlin & McGill. Jimmy is reluctant to involve HHM, but eventually agrees and arranges a meeting. Later that night, while Jimmy is asleep, Chuck sneaks out of the house and uses Jimmy's phone to make a call.

The next morning, Jimmy and Chuck return to HHM, where Howard prepares for their arrival by confiscating everybody's phones and shutting down the building's electricity. The entire staff then greet Chuck's return with a standing ovation. Howard is confident that they have a strong case against Sandpiper Crossing and offers to give Jimmy twenty percent of the final settlement fees, as well as a of counsel fee of $20,000. However, he makes it clear that Jimmy will not be working on the case or with HHM. This angers Jimmy, who believes he is being left out and demands to know why he has repeatedly been excluded from the firm. When Howard does not answer his questions, Jimmy decides not to release the case to HHM. Kim confronts Howard about his refusal to allow Jimmy into the firm. Howard is at first resistant, but he decides to tell Kim the truth.
