The French adventure in Mexico during the 19th century pretty much ended in disaster. Perhaps it was inevitable given the clash in palates. This latest product by Old El Paso, which dominates the international aisle of most French supermarkets, has the tag line: toutes les saveurs du Mexique sans piment. I'm trying to imagine the reverse campaign: all the flavors of France without the wine and butter?

so funny...what is it about the French and the "piment"?...so bland
my God...eleven days and counting....crikey Anne!
Tomatoes on a fajitas? No red peppers- hot peppers? Bland.
Sad to see you are leaving. I've enjoyed your blog quite a bit.
And the point of either would be??? NOT WORTH IT!
I'm not a fan of really spicy foods either. The Mexicans make their food so 'hot', that after the first bite, you can't taste anything else.
