OK, do you now need some travel inspiration? Are you, like us, spending a ton of time procrastinating / dreaming about your next adventure? Because, soon, soon!!! Then this next piece is perfect. It’s a colorful, whimsical, history-filled jaunt following chile peppers around the world. From Jamaica to Hungary and then onto Thailand, the author, Matt Gross (the former New York Times Frugal Traveler columnist), traces the history of these spicy fruits. He then explores how they have infiltrated three very different cuisines and the impact this has had on the cultures there and on the people who eat them.
