Wrong......ALL chiles originated in the Americas, and were taken from the new
world to Europe by the Spanish, Portugese, Italians, whoever, and then were
taken to Africa, China and all other countries. Likewise, the tomato, and the
tomatillo, and the tomatillo IS eaten raw in salsa, etc. The information is
mistaken.  cheers, Doug in BC
