We made Mayan Stew (squash, corn, peppers, beans) in the classroom to simulate the ancient Mayan food. Although the ancient Mayans used chili peppers for spice, I didn't put it in the stew. Instead, we had chili pepper hot sauce on the side. I had some adventurous and proud kids in the room who tried the hot sauces.
Boy (with a beet red face and tears streaming down): "I couldn't feel it at all! It's not hot!"
Girl: Gasp, choke, cough, "It's good!" Gasp, choke, cough, "I want more of it!" Gasp, choke, cough, "Put it in my stew!" Gasp, choke, cough.
Kids (running to the sink): "WATER!"
