Hmmm... That reminds me.
I was once in Uganda, and I was visiting a village in
Northern Uganda somewhere (I can't remember). And, everyone
was getting introduced to one another when I saw a chile plant
growing out of the crux between two limbs. The chile was some type
of ornamental. I asked if they minded if I sampled one. The
locals said sure no problem, while exchanging smug smiles. They
were so sure something amusing was about to ensue. So, I popped
one. MAN WAS IT HOT ! But, being the chile-head member (#16) that
I am (some people claim that I have been a "member" since birth) I
smiled, and asked if I could harvest a few for cooking. I was the
cook for the group. They looked at me with great astonishment,
respect (perhaps a little fear) and tried to offer me their
daughters as well. OK, well maybe not the daughters.
We had Cassava Samosas that night. Oh, that's another thing.
IF I NEVER SEE ANOTHER CASSAVA IT WILL BE TO SOON.
