  • What a great question! The Roman empire fell in the 400s CE if I remember right. It was about a thousand years later that peppers first showed up in Europe. So that would not have been a concern.

    But if it had, it would depend on what it was rinsed in and how well it was rinsed. Vinegar can help neutralize the heat from capsaicin. Saltwater can help because of the way salt interacts to make it more water soluble. Regular water wouldn’t really help.



  • Yeah, it’s all scrambling and bullshit right now. I’ve seen his grandmother say she has no idea. The New York Post (trash rag) claims his partner is transgender but then claims they’re not sure if they’re romantic partners or roommates, then states they have no idea if they’re transitioning. His grandmother is on record as saying she has no idea what her grandson’s politics are. The governor says he’s a leftist and it’s very clear but has offered no reasoning. A former school friend said Democrat but then retracted the statement within a few hours (which could mean anything from “It’s true but I don’t want to get involved”, to “I didn’t understand what I was being asked”, to “I lied and don’t want my statement scrutinized so that I won’t be a national pariah when it comes out”).
