It is suprising how quickly cash crops have propated around the globe.
All Peppers, Tomatoes and Potatoes originate from South America I believe, but oddly coffee probably isn't native to the Americas.
QUOTE=domainguru]Somebody told me that พริกขี้หนู are not actually native to Thailand, but came from Mexico in the 17th century. Whether this is true or not I'm not sure. But certainly what thais call "Thai pepper" are large and not very strong, so maybe the story is true... anyone know?
As for not eating them "plain", many Thais do indeed eat them raw and whole e.g. shoved into Iisaan sausages. I do occasionally copy my Thai friends but regret it immediately afterwards
