How The World Became Spicy (In Only 20 Years)

It all started with a simple question- when did Thai food become spicy? From there, we did our best to find an answer that's never before been properly explained, unraveling the entire story of the post-Columbian spice trade, taking us to the ports of southern Africa, the kitchens of Gujarat, and the central Asian plateau as we follow the written, genetic, and linguistic history of the humble chili from the New World to the Far East. This is our attempt at telling the story of the history of the chili pepper: history's spiciest conquest. - Please consider supporting OTR on Patreon and thanks so much to anyone who does; your support truly keeps us going.
