Eets a Jalapeño

...on a steeek...

Gee, thanks Meheeco.

Yes, I think Mexican products are the cause.

Heard somewhere that jalepenos somehow provide a better medium for salmonella growth than many other vegetables, though it wasn’t explained why.

Anyone want to bet these peppers are or aren’t from Mexico?

originally blamed on tomatoes....jalapeno peppers appear more likely to be at fault
It appears to me that the CBC doesn’t know exactly what is causing the deaths or illnesses of the public. First, they said coffee was no good for you, now they say it is. Secondly, unless a person is allergic to something, if it’s consumed in moderation, it most likely won’t bother you. In excess, everything is bad for you, including water. Drowning??? (laugh inserted here) Americans need to watch what they eat and do it in moderation. Plain and simple.

Tomato producers were hit hard. A few days ago it was thought to be from salsa...now jalapenos? I realize they must investigate by patterns but it’s getting ridiculous. All over, restaurants are posting no tomatoes...no salsa. No peppers will probably be up tomorrow. The ironic thing is that they are inadvertently going to make money by not having to purchase produce, unless they are giving the public a discount and when I ask I’m told ...no change in price.

I grow my own peppers and tomatoes, and I pick them myself so I don’t have to worry about a bunch of illegal aliens crapping and pissing on them. No salmonella here!

maybe they oughta

radiate all of our food?

No matter how many Americans get sick or die,
no matter how many sources of Mexican or terrorist feces are involved,
no matter how at risk the American food supply is,
the CDC will always blame it on a tomato, or a pepper.

I made some cabbage salsa the other night and my hands were on fire for several hours from cutting up two jalapenos. And I know better too—next time I’ll make sure I wear gloves. I soaked the peppers, cilantro, and tomatoes in vinegar beforehand. I don’t know if that does any good or not to kill any buggies but none of us got sick from it.

Certain produce shipments halted out of Mexico

I’ve been eating tomatoes as often as ever. No problems at all.

The produce manager at our local Safeway told us that they are plowing under fields of tomatoes in Florida (no one will buy them). He also said that they are now looking at the green onions.
