My wife brought Sichuan pepper when she came. Nowadays when talking about my cookings all say that I put pepper to my porridge too. Well, I don´t, but they say. Off the record, if eat two - three days very hot foods going to toilet is not funny.

The next morning is the same,,, and I thought volcanic lava was hot!! haha I switched to chilli. I still think that the Chilli helps with the immune system. I am rarely sick thank God. Is Sichuan pepper just as hot as chilli pepper? LB
