He stayed entirely mute, on the subject. After saying that he could not duplicate their results. And those same Indian "scientists" could/would not supply seed to back-up their claims - citing military security ... which sounds much like a lot of the clap-trap coming out of George III's White House in Washington DC. > Dr. Bosland is one of the most respected pepper > experts in the world, his silence this last five years > speaks more loudly to me than his vague suggestion > that perhaps the Indians did something out of the > ordinary. I might also point out that the long ago and far away suspect pepper was the Naga Jolika and this current version is the Bhut Jolika. I suspect that it prolly took most of the 5 years for the Asians to get that sucker to breed true so that they could provide seed, etc. to the world.
