Peru, home of the ricotto pepper.
That's the "ROCOTTO" pepper and it is served stuffed (Rocotto Relleno" with ground beef/onions/cheese/olives/raisins/egg and sauce over a bed of potatoes (to take away the intense heat) or in a cream sauce over sliced boiled potatoes. I believe (?) it is the 4th hottest pepper in the world and is usually soaked for two days to make it edible.
Also found something to do in Peru: drill water wells and install simple water purification units out in the country:

That's the one! It is also called manzana (sp?) pepper in Mexico. It is a beautiful, plump yellow with black seeds (the only pepper with them). Said to be hard to grow.

Hi Gypsy EdMichaelB, I know it has been a few years since you left, but would you consider a sharing a few notes/observations on Venezuela? Merida and Isla Maragarita have come up in earlier threads. Is it possible that things will get quieter with Chavez not as active as he used to be? Is VZ a practical place to consider or would one have to be crackers to go there?
