I watched Jeff Smith show and enjoyed it . Sorry it all ended the way it did , might be true might not , TV is a sensitive media . Many of his recipes have been cooked in my home . Thanks for bringing these back .
It makes sense. On this episode of WITWICS, I heard, "Chili peppers have been around a long time. In fact the Pueblo Indians were growing them when the Spanish arrived way back in 1540." The Spanish arrived, and the American Indians were already growing them here in the new world. Thus being very American. And while it didn't start in Mexico, I think it just spread out and continued there. Chili is a Spanish word, but the American Indians probably had an American word for it.
One city in New Mexico, the other two in Texas, both of which used to be part of Mexico. I know Texas was stolen from Mexico, but Arizona and New Mexico (and maybe one or more additional states) are part of the Gadsden Purchase, which we bought. I'm not sure of the specifics, it's confusing, but it must have been after those occurrences that those three cities and maybe more became a big place for chili peppers.🤷♂
However you feel about the Mexican American War, that shit happened in the 1840s. The cultural development of the Frontera was definitely different depending on which side of the border you were on, going back before the Civil War.
Yeah the type who vote for people who don’t give us record high food and gas and housing costs and don’t , secure the border and don’t fund wars around the world to make money for weapons manufacturers and their wealthy friends. Yep, those guys
When i was a kid back in the early 1990:s me and my mom used to watch this show every morning 😊
I remember watching this show as a young adult. I waited a week to see each show on pbs 38 years ago

Santa Fe, San Antonio, perhaps El Paso, too. (I remember those old "Pass the old El Paso" commercials from the 80's.)

I think this show was on PBS, but I heard it didn’t originally air there.
My dad has a recipe for homemade chili. Melts in the mouth!
If you make any of these recipes, cut the cumin by 75%. You’ll thank me.
Great cook and presenter. Cheers Jeffrey
He passed away years ago RIP, sadly had some legal problems too.
. Yeah he "had some legal problems". He was molesting teenage boys.
Also a prolific paedophile who settled out of court with seven men who he abused as young teenagers.
And a child molester to boot. I guess it's easy to overlook
NOODLES COOK NOODLES AND LEFTOVERS
I'd hate to have to clean up after him........
The southwestern portion of the United States but not Mexico. That sounds like a historical paradox.
Well the southwestern portion of the Untied States used to be part of Mexico, so yeah.

How many boys does it take to make lawsuit?
You all realize this guy was a sex predator, if you don't know this, use The Google and look into his sorry background.
I love how he never really cooks anything.
He was one of the those religious right guys , I bet , who would vote for Trump or DeSantis if he was still alive today.
Yeah the type who vote for people who don’t give us record high food and gas and housing costs and don’t , secure the border and don’t fund wars around the world to make money for weapons manufacturers and their wealthy friends. Yep, those guys
Wtf does that have to do with chili?
@@giftedone831 Absolutely nothing.
I love how he is an ex minister and it turns out he is a sexual predator!
Always the religious types
That sucks, you’d never suspect that by watching or listening to him.😔
Whats a yah expect? He's been dead for years
