Of the many culinary travel expeditions Mary Jane and I have taken, one of the most memorable was our trip to the country of Trinidad & Tobago in August, 1992. Above, a Congo pepper in Mary Jane’s hand. I cut it open to remove the seeds and the resulting fumes drove us out of our hotel room for hours. The subtitle of our article will give you a hint of the adventures to come:
In Which We Take a B-Wee,
Lime About, Eat Congo Peppers,
Meet Shadow Bennie, and
Solve the Riddle of the Mystery Tombstone
