MODERATORS
The American chilis were a replacement for a local one, with the benefit that because there was more spice density could be stretched longer. Spicy wasn't invented by American peppers.
Often times, a new spice is simply surplanting a local not because the flavor wasnt there but because it was economically superior (you can stretch the same spice further)
