In this house...  I started out using horseradish (BBACH - Before Being
A Chile-Head) in Kraft Mac & Cheese (REALLY!  Delish!  TO DIE FOR!!!) to
unclog my sewer-like sinuses...  Then I became a 'Head, and now use any
pepper, in some form, in a recipe.

The SO swears by anything hotter than a jalapeno.  Anything, and his fav
is cayenne.  He says it leaves his tongue "alone," but gets his throat,
sinuses (head) "all cleared."

Both he and I either suffer from allergies (him) or just rotten, crappy
sinuses (me).  

We SWEAR by hot chiles as a natural - EFFECTIVE - way of clearing our
heads.  We can't - literally - live w/o them.

P.S.  Damn!  But they taste good too!!!
