Condiments Legend: The Origins of Chile
Through the centuries, the history of the origin of chili has grown as famous as its flavor. An American Southwest Native legend has it that chili taught the indigenous tribes of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico in early 1600. The legend describes a beautiful young stranger dressed in blue, or "The Blue Lady" that mysteriously appeared and taught the tribes how to prepare a dish made with venison, spices, onions and peppers. The mysterious young woman was found to be a Spanish nun, Venerable Sor Maria de Agreda.
While in Spain, Sister Mary went into a trance with his lifeless body for days. When she awoke from her trance, she claimed that her spirit had been in a distant land and disseminate their beliefs and knowledge human "savages." It is believed that Sister Mary never physically left Spain.
Support of this legend is found in the earliest known record the exploits of a missionary in the New World in 1670 by Bishop José Jiménez Samaniego. In 1888, Fr. Michael Muller also describes the interactions between Native Americans in the southwestern United States and sister Mary in his book, Catholic dogma.
