Popular in the west for the past 20 years, Thai cuisine now ranks beside French, Italian and Chinese as one of the most highly esteemed in the world.<br/><br/> Perhaps the essence of Thai food is the liberal use of chillies, garlic and lemongrass, with the emphasis most definitely on the chillies.<br/><br/> Just like all peppers from the Capsicum family, a surprising number of everyday fruits, flowers and spices which we accept, without thought, as being indigenous to Southeast Asia are, in fact, relative newcomers. The chilli pepper is today so widespread, prolific, and popular that Thai cuisine can scarcely be conceived of without the fiery ingredient. Despite being so difficult to believe the chilli did, in fact, originate in South America.

Dejima (literally 'exit island'; Dutch: Desjima or Deshima, sometimes latinised as Decima or Dezima) was a small fan-shaped artificial island built in the bay of Nagasaki in 1634. This island, which was formed by digging a canal through a small peninsula, remained as the single place of direct trade and exchange between Japan and the outside world during the Edo period. Dejima was built to constrain foreign traders as part of the 'sakoku' self-imposed isolationist policy. Originally built to house Portuguese traders, it changed to a Chinese and Dutch trading post from 1641 until 1853. Covering an area of 120 m x 75 m (9000 square meters, or 0.9 hectares) it later became integrated into the city. 'Dejima Dutch Trading Post' has been designated a Japanese national historic site.
Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. The fruit, known as a peppercorn when dried, is approximately 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in diameter, dark red when fully mature, and, like all drupes, contains a single seed. Peppercorns, and the ground pepper derived from them, may be described simply as pepper, or more precisely as black pepper (cooked and dried unripe fruit), green pepper (dried unripe fruit) and white pepper (unripe fruit seeds).<br/><br/> Black pepper is native to south India, and is extensively cultivated there and elsewhere in tropical regions. Currently Vietnam is the world's largest producer and exporter of pepper, producing 34% of the world's Piper nigrum crop as of 2008.<br/><br/> Dried ground pepper has been used since antiquity for both its flavor and as a medicine. Black pepper is the world's most traded spice. It is one of the most common spices added to European cuisine and its descendants. The spiciness of black pepper is due to the chemical piperine, not to be confused with the capsaicin that gives fleshy peppers theirs. It is ubiquitous in the modern world as a seasoning, and is often paired with salt.
‘The Book of Medicinal Herbs’ or ‘Kitab al-Hasha’ish’, is a 10th-century Arabic manuscript containing nearly 500 illustrations and texts relating to botanical plants and their healing properties. It was probably based on the ancient ‘Materia Medica’, published by Greek physician Dioscorides in the 1st century CE. This 17th-century version is a Persian translation of the original written in the 10th century by Ishaq ibn Hunayn.
