I love them! Quite desperate for them! Esp potatoes. I could eat them daily. What is life without peppers? A sad existence would be my personal answer.

We were doing dosha tests at work for fun. (I have a lot of Pitta types at work) Pittas are told to avoid tomatoes and peppers. A great wail arose at the very notion! One person is doing so, but she's very sad about it. They were the basis of her diet.

Yes, potatoes are nightshades as well. It's still a fun word to throw around. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #2
