    Looks like a bonnet all right. Only one way to be sure...

    Pop it in your mouth OP, and bite down hard. Video and post the results!

    :D

    If this on on the same plant as the cayenne peppers I'd imagine it's just deformed. It can happen sometimes. Scotch Bonnet are a little rounder and you would have a separate stem coming up. Are there two stems?

    It's possible that it's a genetic abnormality and that you will have a new variety if you plant seeds from it! ;)
