Also pepper. Usually, if referring to a "bell pepper" they would call it by its colour, so a red pepper or orange pepper. Pepper the seasoning may be black pepper (thats the most common).
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.
In the US, I think red pepper could get confused with chili peppers, but maybe that's just me.
We then call those chili peppers.
