2 Kings 4:

Death in the Pot
38 Elisha returned to Gilgal and there was a famine in that region. While the company of the prophets was meeting with him, he said to his servant, "Put on the large pot and cook some stew for these men."

39 One of them went out into the fields to gather herbs and found a wild vine. He gathered some of its gourds and filled the fold of his cloak. When he returned, he cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were. 40 The stew was poured out for the men, but as they began to eat it, they cried out, "O man of God, there is death in the pot!" And they could not eat it.

41 Elisha said, "Get some flour." He put it into the pot and said, "Serve it to the people to eat." And there was nothing harmful in the pot.

The Hot Chili Peppers are causing global warming. Al Gore said so, therefore, it must be true.

blam,
I don't know about the Caribbean claim but I've known for maybe 30 years, based on scientific reports, that capsicum is native to the Mesoamerican lowlands. What's with this "new" research?

No so long ago in history pepper was worth more than gold.

I suspect that ground Chile's were also quite valuable.

As the story goes it was because of the lack of refrigeration it was the only thing that could hide the taste of half spoiled meat.

Cool. I think Sontava XX by Jardine's is some of the best stuff for pintos, etc. Habanero, but buffered enough to bring out taste not pain.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com it's Cayenne based so it's considered mild, but for me it has the best overall flavor. i guess it's cause of the sugar in it.
