Ah, indeed. This reminds me of a friend of mine who went to visit her
husband's family in Taiwan. The father-in-law was a pigeon fancier and asked
them to bring a food supplement for his birds. All was fine until she had to
explain (in bad Taiwanese) to the customs agent that those bags of white
powder where just "pigeon vitamins."

On a chile thread, would anybody by chance have a recipe calling for Thai
yellow chiles? I'm going to have an overabundance of the devils.
