You missed the last E, it's Turkette which was formerly Turchetti before some dumbass Frenchman misspelled my Great Grandfather's name. Yeah it's Italian and my cousins are in the cement business in Detroit. You should have taken the *deal* prior to the game, it's called placing a wager ;-) Hey, speaking of something new. Had a guy come in the other day with some ground pepper, called it Poli Pepper and he claimed in came from South America. I took it home and it has a wonderful flavor, kind of fruity really. It was green in color, and I'd put it at around 200,000 SHU's. Definitely not a Peri-Peri. Anyone got an idea what this might be? The guy says he grows them in his garden, and promised me seeds later this month. Claimed he could not get them to turn red when maturing on the vine. Regards, Daniel H.

That always sounds like a deal when you're talking about the Pats (what is it now... thirteen in a row?). So...two to one.... money, products,?? What you talkin' 'bout Turkett? :) We're busy trying to come up with some new ideas for food for the big game tomorrow. The folks coming over are not Chile Heads so we are in a tough spot. Everything we think of involves chile's, but we know the other people wouldn't like it...I guess we're just hoping that we will end up with some converts by the end of the day tomorrow.
