"Smells like Mexican food in here," he said in an accusatory tone. I should have said something like "And so what if it does?" Instead I said "I don't think that can be. The only food that's been made here this morning is toast." "Toast?!" he exclaimed. "Not unless you put some chili powder on it!" I realized later that, perhaps not having a large repertoire of exotic smell associations to draw on, he might have inhaled a whiff of the tea I'd brewed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapsang_souchong and mistaken it--though there is no chili powder in it--for Mexican food. In light of Dr. Gupta's findings, I can see now why some might be made anxious by chili powder. Hopefully xenophobes are over-represented among those needing anal fissure operations.
