Blood sugar sucker fish
In my dish
How many pieces
Do you wish
Step into a heaven
Where I keep it on the soulside
Girl please me
Be my soul bride

Bitter greens are the healthiest ones. We Americans don’t tend to get enough in our diet, but certain cultures do.

Yeah, but I still think that “Give It Away” is their best moment.

Capsaicin is also the main ingredient in pepper spray, however its boosted up a bit and 5x hotter than the worlds hottest pepper.

Interesting post. It would be interesting to observe if there is a pattern of less cases of cancer in populations that have been eating capsaicin based diets (which would include pepper I guess) for longer.

And about the bad taste.. there are many varieties of chili. In Peru, where I come from, we use chili for flavor not for its hotness, because they can give a great flavor without causing pain at all. In fact most of our dishes have different varieties of chili in them, if not all :)

Remember, good chili always burns twice. Once when it goes in, and once (or more) time(s) when it goes out!
