Aspiring Mexican chili pepper champion
(Thanks Brian Subich) MSNBC has an article about Manuel Quiroz, a Mexican taxi driver who aims to be the worlds champion chili pepper eater, but who is impeded from his goal by the lack of any chili pepper eating contest. He won $2,000 in a contest sponsored by a Mexican TV station.
Chilies are the pride of Mexico,” Quiroz said. “The world chili-eating champion has got to be here.”
Quiroz said he has never been examined by a doctor to find out if there is a medical explanation for his extraordinary endurance to the spice.
“Why would I go and see a doctor?” he said. “There is nothing wrong with me. Eating chilies makes me feel great.”
