    Yummie even though because of divertulitis we changed the red pepper to red bell pepper and omitted the crushed red pepper flakes! This a winner and we plan to sprinkle on some ground cinnamon next time like we used to do in the Tropics! - 5/17/09

    I left out the pepper flakes. Don’t enjoy the consequences! Deal with GERD! Was very good I thought. - 5/5/21
