Chili Pepper News

Chill and chili peppers may start the same way when you speak these words. But, that’s about all these things have in common. And they would like to keep it that way, thank you very much. If you want to enjoy either one (and perhaps both), it’s best if you develop a few tactics to protect your chili peppers from the cold.

Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays on the American calendar. Not only does it score you a few days off work, but it’s a holiday that’s all about food. Okay, we know that it’s meant to be about thankfulness for everything that we have. But really, Thanksgiving is all about feasting with family and friends. That’s pretty cool, isn’t it? And, even though we think that’s good enough for most people, Mad Dog makes it all that much better. We’re sure of that, and soon you will be too. We have plenty of ideas for a Spicy Thanksgiving meal.

At Ashley Foods, we are almost continuously thinking about chili peppers. We say almost because our job requires us to think about a lot of different ingredients and food items too. (And yes, truly, we do leave work and have perfectly normal concerns just like anyone else.) But, we can’t help it, when some new piece of news emerges about chili peppers, we get simultaneous whiplash from checking it out.
