Welcome!

Welcome to Better With Red Pepper?! That's an enthusiastic declaration, not an incredulous question.

Many claim that everything is better with red pepper. Our mission here is, rather straightforwardly, to determine whether this is true. No, this isn't apt to bring about world peace or even accomplish the much more modest goal of ending hunger. But it will answer a question I've had for some time now.

Here is my tentative vision for the blog. From time to time, I will consume food. First, I will consume the food without red pepper. Then I will consume the food with red pepper. Based on these two experiences, I will rate the food as "Better With Red Pepper!" or "Not Better With Red Pepper." How, very scientific, now? And then, as a purely pandering, populist gesture, I will offer a poll, allowing you, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free (or should that be "fire"?), to offer your own opinion.
