Monday WRites 325


 Some Peppers we use her in T&T. [all photos taken from the internet]

Peppers were named by Christopher Columbus and Spanish explorers who were searching for peppercorn plants to produce black pepper. Columbus took samples of a wide variety of peppers back to Europe where they became quite popular.

“Don't be a pepper on the eyes of people; Rather be the salt on their tongue and make a difference that influences their sense of belonging to the earth.”― Israelmore Ayivor

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,

Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? [The earliest version of this tongue twister was published in Peter Piper's Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation by John Harris (1756–1846) in London in 1813]

    Those peppers looks quite frightening.. I know that some are pretty strong. But it sounds wonderful with a fair for such great produce.

    Our County and State Fairs are agricultural, plus carnival rides and BBQ. I like the term "paw-paws".

    I'm hungry for a pepper stirfry now! (Maybe leaving out that one small red one which looks like it is probably very very hot.) And I want to go to the fair! Fun stuff Gillenna!

    I too like the term Paw Paw as Glenn has mentioned. Spicy food and I sadly do not agree.

    Happy Monday

    Paws paws and peppers are certainly mouth-watering. They go well on the taste buds if being hot is a fair attraction. Nice writing Gillena!
