Schweid, Richard Hot Peppers: Cajuns and Capsicum in New Iberia, Louisiana
Seattle Madrona Publishers 1980 0-914842-50-1 / 9780914842507 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good+ dj
[tight and clean, with a couple of tiny brown spots on the fore-edge; jacket mildly rubbed, a couple of small tears along top edge near spine, a couple of itsy-bitsy pieces missing at top of rear panel]. (B&W line drawings) "Combining his addiction [to hot peppers] with his vocation [ as a journalist], the author made a pilgrimage to New Iberia, Louisiana, the hot-pepper capital of America. In New Iberia, [he] bound lilting Cajun speech and zydeco music coexisting with agribusiness, the offshore 'oil patch,' and the people whose family names are found on hot-pepper-sauce labels. [He] writes of the history of hot peppers according to the Mayas, the Aztecs, Columbus, and New England herbalists; tells of salt mines, a bird sanctuary, and oily, salty, pepper-producing soil; and interviews Walter McIlhenny, B.J. Trappey, and the field workers whose hands burn from picking peppers. His discoveries add up to entertaining reading, especially for all those who are fanciers of hot varieties of the genus Capsicum. And there are some recipes, too."
