first fruits

I recently bought a tabasco pepper plant, it is now flowering and showing the beginnings of several peppers.
A friend instructed me that I should discard the first fruits as they are somehow "no good".
I am having trouble believing this and wonder if this is true or not.
Any help? |

| don't know about peppers, but people sometimes remove the first buds from flowering perennials so that the plant's energy will go into stronger stems & roots for that important first year, & they sometimes cull small fruits from peach trees & such so that the remaining fruit will be bigger. Aren't peppers annuals? If so, you might be discarding its entire crop! |
