[Sca-cooks] Earth Apples?

[Terry Decker]

Yep.  I've seen several variants on how peppers got from here to there.  The 
point is all of the evidence shows them moving into Europe after 1529 when 
the Turks rolled into Hungary (IIRC).  Nobody has a definite handle on how 
they got there, but the general consensus is the Turks are guilty of 
spreading the fire.
