To satisfy your curiosity...I love the blog Banana!<br /><br />To satisfy your curiosity on the word 'chilli' I discovered an interesting 'scientific' fact on the web...<br /><br />"the name comes from the Spanish word 'chile', which has its own roots respectively in the Nahuatl language (the Aztecs spoke a variant of this). So a chilli was originally called chile in Nahuatl. The Spanish then took this into their own language and the English language borrowed it from them. So the fact it is called a chilli has nothing to do with its temperature at all - it's just the word that was originally used for it in another language." (source: www.thenakedscientists.com)<br /><br />I agree that the word 'chilli' is funny, but I'm not sure if it is as funny as the name of the plant that bears the chilli?<br /><br />CAPSICUM ANNUUM LONGUMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03209590492515190988noreply@blogger.com
