What a coincidence. Just the other day, I was going through late Prof. Frank D'Souza's book and came across his essay on the chilli. The title, The Episcopal Chilli, a title given because the Bishop of Mumbai, Simon Pimenta, asked him to pen the essay. The surname Pimenta comes from the the Portuguese word (I forget) and also has origin in Mexico. He says the chilli was indegenous to Mexico while the Portugues claim it is theirs, but it's open to doubt. Frank wrote on many fruits and vegetables, and his essays are a veritable feast for reading. Eugene Correia __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Y!
