    A Pictorial Trip to the Peppered Past

    By admin | November 7, 2007 |

    It has been brought to my attention by our friend Buddah that most Chileheads can’t read. Well in order to be fair and balanced here on Taste The Fear, I tossed together a bit of chile pepper past in picture book style.

      thats a hillbilly/redneck sport, you are better off sending me Dummies For Hillbillies :D That way I can learn moonshine and how to make cobbler.

      Mason-Dixon line my arse. DC area is far from the South. Come visit and you will see more foreign born citizens and non-citizens for that matter than in 90% of US cities.
