I had an Indian guy tell me Indians have been eating chilies for thousands of years and that’s why they can tolerate spicy food more than Americans. I told him chilies come from the Americas, aren’t native to India, and only arrived after the Columbian exchange. The guy nearly wanted to fight me over it, insisting that chilies are native to India.

If by peppers you mean black pepper, sure. But sweet bell peppers are the same species as jalapeños: Capsicum annuum.

Or tomato sauce being a product of the Americas 🫠
Tomato sauce is clearly a native Italian product /s
