Jalapeño

A jalapeño was a medium sized, green, mild to moderately pungent chili pepper that originated in the Mexico region of North America on Earth.
Jalapeños were a prominent ingredient in Rodeo Red's Red-Hot, Rootin'-Tootin' Chili, an example of "classic American cuisine" that Neelix found in his premature anticipation of 's return to Earth in 2374. Neelix' version of the chili contained too many jalapeños, which caused some of the ship's crew to experience acute functional dyspepsia and had to visit sickbay. Afterwards, Neelix figured it was "just a matter of perfecting the recipe," and that next time he would use "a few less jalapeños." ()
In 2380, when Ensign Beckett Mariner accidentally bumped into Doctor T'Ana; knocking her face into her plate of nachos, she got jalapeños stuck in her fur. ()
