Awesome Majesty Of Science Harnessed To Make Bigger Bar Snacks
Dig in: "Scientists in New Mexico have successfully bred a bell pepper to a jalapeno to create a new, larger, medium-hot version of the jalapeno. What's the point? Poppers, my friends. Poppers. The breeding program was specifically aimed at meeting America's growing demand for ever-more-massive, cheese-stuffed, deep-fried peppers. Called the NuMex Jalmundo, seeds will be available for sale next year commercially, but it looks like you can buy seeds through the Chile Pepper Institute already."
Take that, President Hu.
U-S-A, U-S-A!
If they are going to make up awesome names like NuMex Jalmundo, I am behind this one thousand percent. I have, in fact, written a haiku.
NuMex Jalmundo:
Thou still unravish'd bride of
Cheese, get in my mouth.
NuMex Jalmundo:
Of star-cross'd peppers born, let
Me taste of your spice.
NuMex Jalmundo:
You are a vegetable?
Chili's will change that.
