this is pima zozyo get the right spelling from felix henderson the patior ambarsador
It is a beautiful tree which bears a colorful red pepper. We had one growing in the yard. Little children will think that it is a fruit to eat.
Watch them that they do not go near the tree and touch the pepper. If they do and place their fingers in their eyes it will obviously burn and will be painful for hours. I have witnessed it in my home in DA.
I think “pima ma jack” is stronger than “pima zozyo”.
It’s “Bondah ma jack!”
That pepper dere good for men who lacking down there. After u pee just rubb it at the end of d private part
hmmm

You made me laugh. Somewhat shocked and surprised that you would make such a statement. The things that people think of and state. Your mind is working overtime.
Yep.. that is “Pimea Zoezeo”. Them things can taste good in a fish broth but can also spoli your food fast if doh know what you doing. I see larwim running down man nose while they swallowing a tonton-yampain wish a fresh fish (varluwah) source and a little pimea zoezeo for flavor. They so caught up in the food that they even licking the lawin…..lol . Those were the days growing up in the country…nuff said!
Assertive, NOT Agressive!
Shameless I want to commend you on how informative your post was. I can see you writing an article on Dominican food. Great job. I felt transported to my island reading your comments.
lol you are so right
Too much of one thing is good for nothing. Some people love to eat a lot of pepper. It is not always healthy to do so.
yes thats the famous cayenne pepper. Good For all sickness. High in potassium. I use it all the time in where thing. have eye problem. just put a drop in the eye n its gone.
You are hilarious. I had such a hearty laugh I pee my panties still LMFAORL. Thanks for a good belly hurting laugh.
LOL. You are not serious, are you?
U can rub some on your coconut too….it nice…
Cayenne pepper in the eye? Are you serious? I have never heard of this. I have heard and read about the health benefit of cayenne pepper/powder but not pepper in the eyes. I use the powder sparingly in certain foods, also when making certain salad dressings.
Whenever I make pepper sauce I have to use a glove to touch the pepper because it is so hot. The smell of it could makes me cough. I visualize if my fingers touch this pepper and I rob my eyes, they will burn. A person could go blind. I reiterate you must have made a joke about placing it in the eye. I believe this is bad advice whether it is in the form of a joke. Some people may take you seriously and damage their eyes.
It was a joke, obviously! Why in heaven’s name would anyone rub pepper in his/her eyes Truth?
very good to eat….
and sweet too…
we put it in our cocoa teas or we make juice with it.
Put some on your eyes…
ok but ill pass some on your cocoa first
lol
Thats what we call the cayyenne pepper in england aint it?
Can’t do with these little suckers
without
piman zozyo
Agree with you my friend. “zozyo” is our creole for
the original French “des-oiseaux” or “of the birds”. Don’t know where “zibyea” comes from but perhaps someone can tell us.
But a Zibyea is a bird…a zozyo. Same thing.
friend as i know it zozoyo is a small bird.ithink the caption is ok.
I gave that to my dog’s in food and now nobody can come in my yard!
That’s animal abuse!
No wonder, I would go mad too!
Somebody should give you, are taste of it to know how it feel, people like you should never have a dog, that’s man best friend.
isnt that cayenne pepper?
Isn’t this the famous cayenne pepper? I have a plant right next to my step and it bears year round.
did i say that i add pepper to everyting? well i do
i eat pepper with everything….any food you can think of ..i add pepper to it
Your taste buds are probably dead. Even in a glass of juice you put pepper??
eat not drink can you eat juice, your brain cells maybe dead lolll
You should eat it moderately; not too much of it and at once.
Boy we would get some green grafted mango a little bird pepper salt and water,hmmmmm those were the days.
it doesn’t have to end…we have an abundance of mangoes so its not hard to keep eating that. Trust me, it proper eh.
