From the Post: Inhabitants of the New World had chili peppers and the makings of taco chips 6,100 years ago, according to new research that examined the bowl-scrapings of people sprinkled throughout Central America and the Amazon basin.
Upcoming questions on the research agenda -- and this is not a joke -- include: Did they have salsa? When did they get beer?
As a result of these findings, chili pepper use is known to date back further than that of any other spice used in the Americas.
