SC - Re: [spca-wascaerfrig] Mongolian hot pot for a meal?

[Richard Keith]

Greetings All,

I am going to cross post this to the SC list.

One, I do not know when red peppers came to Mongolia.  OR perhaps it should 
be said Mongolia came to the west in Asia minor and Outreimer.  My book on 
the Crusades is currently at home.  Was the fourth of fifth Crusade when 
they entered the picture in western Europe.  I believe that the Mongols, 
were at that time considered conversion prospects by Christians as well as 
the Muslins.   I am presuming that the moors carried peppers back with them 
from Spain and the Mongols would have  acquired them from the middle east 
through conquests of mixed people of the region.

I did not know if curry was a period ingredient for the west.  Perhaps 
someone can illuminate.

Would you want me to post some of my hot pot recipes and sauces?
