The chilli pepper.

That first tingle should have been off-putting.

Yes, especially if added to oatmeal or pablum

@Thodsis did you know that there's a whole line of plants called the nightshade family that are related and can be grafted together to grow them.

Chili peppers are related to potatoes and even tomatoes. All originated in South America.

All their leaves are as well mildly poisonous.

You would think they would leave each alone because of the leaves.
