tabanca · Issue 02 · The pepper
Once the hottest pepper in the world, grown on Trinidad's south coast. Pria explains why she trusts it more than most men. Gloves recommended. Reading glasses optional.
tabanca · Issue 03 · Recipe

Bara, channa, cucumber, tamarind and a reckless amount of pepper. Plus: how to say 'slight pepper' at the stand and still cry in your car.
