According to The Dallas Morning News on 30 August
2006, here is something about the origin of chile
peppers.
"Thank Christopher Columbus for erroneously
naming this fruit a 'pepper'. When the explorer
encountered capsicum pods on his New World
voyages, he mistakenly thought he'd found a new
type of black pepper. But we also call the hot
ones chiles, and the history of that word is more
clouded. Best guess: The name is believed to
have come from the Nahuatl word 'tchilli' which
means red, according to the UCLA History &
Special Sections Louise M. Darling Biochemical
Library. Whatever you call them sweet bell
peppers, sweet peppers and hot chile peppers are
all at their seasonal peak."
Bonne Semaine! R.

"Ye walked according to the Æon of this world,
according to the Archon that has the domination of the air.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against the dominations,
the powers, the lords of darkness,
the mischievousness of spirits in the Upper Regions."
Ephesians 2:2, 6:12
