Do you think your allergy to chillis extends to red and green bell peppers too, the mild kind? I've known people who were deathly allergic to all capiscums. There must be some chemical compound in chilli peppers that makes the hot, I guess.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-53275554648645640202020-05-18T21:02:11.242+01:002020-05-18T21:02:11.242+01:00Jo, I have quite a few friends who also dislike ch...Jo, I have quite a few friends who also dislike chilli. No amount of trying it makes them like it any better but they have to put up with it if they want to eat out.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-43847465780851399572020-05-18T19:39:14.989+01:002020-05-18T19:39:14.989+01:00Oh my goodness that sounds rather scary (glad to h...Oh my goodness that sounds rather scary (glad to hear you're otherwise in very good health though!)<br /><br />Although I have no allergies I completely sympathise with how difficult it is to find food in cafes/restaurants (or nice recipes) that don't contain chilli. It's in bloody everything! I've never liked hot spice and it's always felt like a "problem". I've started eating things with a small amount of chilli in the last year in the hope my mouth becomes more tolerant but still can't particularly say I enjoy it. If I want to add spices to food I much prefer paprika, mild curry powders or cumin.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922950133889230965noreply@blogger.com
