Thanks to all for your comments about Piri Piri Peppers. I went out to
Walmart today and bought 4 bottles of them. Yum, yum. They are some of
the best pickled peppers that I have ever put in my mouth. And thanks for
the Portugal website about the search for these peppers.
You know, it is sometimes difficult to believe that nobody outside of the
Americas ever knew about any hot peppers before Columbus. Surely there
were some "Thai" peppers or whatever in Asia before that. I can't believe
that hot peppers spread to the rest of the world ONLY after Columbus. But
... maybe so.
As for flying with or without peppers, I personally have decided never to
fly anywhere again, until some "sanity" returns to airline flight. Just by
the way I look, I know that I would be harassed and searched and searched
and searched, whether I was carrying peppers or dope. :-( It amazes me
that the American public is putting up with this bullshit. Really. Rob
