Capsicum thread.

[Anonymous No.11993111]

What did Poos, East Asians and Africans eat before chilis were introduced to their diets by Europeans in the 16th and 17th centuries? Capsicum are indigenous to the Americas and were spread by Western trade/travel.

There's evidence both in historical documents and genetic research that the seeds were spread to asia millions of years ago by birds.

This.
People were eating chili peppers a long time before the Americas were discovered.

Same things the Europeans ate before the Atecs and Incans introduced them to chilis, I'd wager.

I can't speak for everywhere, but according to Fuschia Dunlop (pretty much the only westerner to graduate formal cooking school in China), they used lots of normal pepper (black pepper, white pepper) before the introduction of capsicums.

Call it bell peppers ffs

But we aren't talking about bell peppers you mong, we're talking about the whole fucking genus, spicy ones included. All of the Capsicum genus came from the new world.

No.

>Capsicum (/ˈkæpsJkəm/[3]), the pepper, is a genus of flowering plants in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Its species are native to the Americas, where they have been cultivated for thousands of years. Following the Columbian Exchange, it has become cultivated worldwide, and it has also become a key element in many cuisines. In addition to use as spices and food vegetables, Capsicum species have also been used as medicines and lachrymatory agents.

Of course he would state that, otherwise he'd get hanged by the commie government there.
Look into real history, all capsicums that includes chile peppers originate from the Americas. That's a simple fact, and has nothing to do with communism, socialism, or democracy.

[Anonymous No.11993431]

>>11993281
Originally they were using them not as a spice or for flavoring but to cover up the stench of their rotting meat and food. That's a fact.

Yes, that's what I just said. Did you even read the post you replied to?

>>That's a simple fact, and has nothing to do with communism, socialism, or democracy.
Agreed. I'm not sure why you're bringing up politics here, I certainly didn't.

I'm confused. Did chili peppers exist in Asia before the Columbian era or not?

[Anonymous No.11993479]

>>11993463
Pepper did, but not capsicums. I think it was Spaniards who first found chile peppers and named them peppers, so it's a naming thing. They thought that it was pepper and mixed it up with capsicums.

No the stupid thing would be parents that would name their kid "Fuschia."
They must be hippy morons to name their kid that.

If you're going to name your kid "Fuschia" then you've consigned it to being a hippy moron for the rest of it's life.

"Fuschia" almost sounds like some kind of nigger name. Yo Yo Yo Fuscia, where be at my money you ho?

Wrong. Genetic evidence and historical documents prove otherwise.

>We can refer to a research paper in the magazine “Nature” that Korea's gochu arrived at the Korean peninsula millions of years ago, having been spread by birds. It states that gochu has evolved for millions of years, therefore, we can infer that Korean gochu existed as a completely different variety. In addition, gochujang and kimchi can be made using gochu only, which proves that people in Korea cultivated gochu thousands of years ago and have been eating it since then. Furthermore, many old Korean documents support the fact that Koreans have been planting and harvesting gochu for the last 1,500 years.

To be fair, he kinda has a point. Why use the genus name to refer to just one species in the genus? That doesn't make logical sense.
