I believe that Brighid referred to them as, essentially, not  
blatantly non-period. And this is a Spanish recipe, after all, but  
capsicums of all sorts do appear to have been in use somewhat earlier  
in parts of Southern Europe than, say, in England. My suspicion is  
that Brighid knows full well they're New World, and was admitting to  
some possibility, even if less likely, that they were used anyway.

It's a kind explanation, but incorrect.  I goofed -- I was thinking about capers.
