Some like it hot the story of chili peppers

Part of a series on the cultural and economic history of foods, looking at how Christopher Columbus and the Spanish conquistadores changed what people ate. This program looks at the history of chili peppers beginning with the search by Columbus to get King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella into the black pepper business. In the Caribbean natives showed Columbus chilies which he decided to call peppers as he was being paid to find "peppers." Also looks at how the hot pepper was introduced to African cultures, thereby producing a new cuisine which was eventually brought back to the Americas by African slaves.
