	I'm allergic to capsicum and have experimented with the following to
get a little bite to dishes which would be too bland:
	          Horse radish - lovely stuff but a little goes a long way.
	          Ginger root - very period - I would double the amount
called for and leave out the pepper.
	          and for very late Spanish the capsicum peppers are coming
into use. 
	Hope this helps. Margarite
