Due to the recent sensationalism about some chilli products being banned in Denmark due to the extreme hotness of the chillies, I though I should share this Blog with those of you who are interested in food and cooking. https://lnkd.in/gQszvcrH

Aleppo Pepper: Besides being a popular spice for Yotam Otolenghi, Aleppo Pepper is becoming the go-to chilli for many cooks and food lovers. Why would a style of chilli be called a pepper? After all it is not a peppercorn! Let’s start with a bit of background. You may recall that Christopher Columbus was sailing west to get to the Indonesian spice islands, because he guessed that it would be faster than sailing west, around the Cape of Good Hope and across the Indian Ocean. This miscalculation meant that he bumped into the Americas, and to his chagrin found no nutmegs or cloves. Just useless things like tomatoes, tobacco, and among other things – chillies. Because these spicy pods had a tangy heat reminiscent of pepper, they called them pimenton, which is Spanish for pepper. To this day, in many parts of the world all members of the capsicum family are referred to as peppers.
