Subject: RE: 2003 FSGW Getaway - ideas for program
One of the things Guam has is plenty of prepared foods, i.e., canned and in jars. And they are all spicy. The locals claim to like things HOT but I've had hotter elsewhere. There are a couple of itmes that they compare to wasabi and I haven't seen (tasted?) any reason to dispute them. Unlike wasabi this spiciness stick to your mouth. We have a new young officer who grew up in Texas. He tried some of the red peppers out of a jar. By the time he got to his fourth one he had sweat trickling down his forehead. He allowed as how he thought they might be spicy...

I'll check into the jars and cans on the store shelves and try to bring some local foods. Can I get serving dishes there? I'd use plastic but some of these foods might eat through the dish...
