Ärende: chili sauce 496
=======================
 JW> Old fashioned chile sauce as made by country farm women fifty years
 JW> ago was much spicier and much more vinegary sharp

I'll believe the vinegary sharp part, but the spicier I'm not
so sure about. I think that the heat tolerance of the public
has increased exponentially in the last hundred years. It was
in the 1940s that the Rombauers were warning people to get
rid of the membranes inside bell peppers, because of their
unbearable spiciness. It is true that these membranes contained
some capsaicin (this I think positive quality has been bred out
over the years), but real hotness, I doubt. Certainly in the
early 1950s peppers had perceptible but not particularly
interesting spiciness.
