[edit] Country of origin

"country of origin"? Aren't all peppers orignally from the western hemisphere?

[edit] Nonsense?

The non-pungent, tapered pepper is larger and hangs down, being only a coincidental homonym because of its country of origin, Thailand. The origin of this pepper is considered to be from South America.'

Can anyone tell me which pepper this paragraph is referring to, in what way it is a homonym, and how it can originate from two different places? -- Scott e^iπ 04:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I think the user was trying to make a bad pun. "Tie" as in a necktie, which is tapered and hangs down, versus "Thai" the country that most uses birdseyes. 24.250.252.220 00:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chilli sort out

At some point there needs to be a systematic sort out of the various varieties of chilli - by analogy with the Wine Project the main Capsicum frutescens article would have the taxobox and botany as part of the Plants Project, but the individual varieties would just be considered part of the Food Project, and focus on the culinary aspects.

[edit] Indonesian reference

This chili is very popular in Indonesia, and I had taken some steps to include reference about Indonesia in this article. Specifically, the mention about Indonesian proverb and the Indonesian name of the chili. Xathria 10:51, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
