Hi fellow seniors, how do you feel about organic food?

I learned to eat hot and spicy food when we moved to the desert Southwest. I like it. Medium for me.

It shouldn't hurt to eat a meal. I'm not into having my eyes bleed either. My middle son loved all the hot chili.

At 40 he's developed an intolerance to peppers. It started with ground black pepper and green chili. Now he can't even eat raw bell pepper.

I have heard of those peppers described in the article. They are one of those super hot varieties often known as ghost peppers. They are inedible.

They aren't poisonous but are so acidic that they can leave you with holes in your stomach and intestine. You-tube has videos of absolute fools eating these peppers. I watched one a year or so ago when I considered growing one plant as an ornamental.

OMG. Those things are on my never, ever plant list along with poison ivy and oleander.

I don't consume many foods with spices. I used to love ginger biscuits but have gone off them recently. I still like Jamaica Ginger cake though.

As far as main courses are concerned I will eat a very mild curry (nor Korma though, I find that too creamy). I am not very good at cooking with spices so usually buy curry if I want one - either frozen one or a tinned one. Aldi do a very nice tinned mild curry with huge chunks of chicken in it.

It is just the correct 'hotness' for my taste buds. I used to make my own chili con carne when I was feeding a family and seemed to get that just right to please everyone but since living alone I haven't made it once and don't really think it's worth the effort. I'll take note of all the answers you receive for this though as it might give me ideas.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
