10/10 would leave with face on fire.

Not suitable for Mexicans, buy regular chocolate instead tastes the same.
Not suitable for white people, buy regular chocolate instead at least that won't kill you immediately.

Also:
That's fucking chili.
Not pepper.
This is pepper.
When will you people learn?

I have been confused as to why English-speaking people use the word pepper for chili.

"Pepper" is the term used to describe the plant bits that add flavour/spice to food, OR the powdered stuff doing mostly the same.

Chili is either the stew, or erroneously used as "chili pepper". Technically the thing pictured is a hot pepper.

Source: I have spoken and studied English my entire life.

Error, the thing Daynel posted is the powder-pepper thing in its non-powdered form.

"Powder" used loosely.

Thing is that in pretty much every other language, that's the ONLY thing you call pepper.

Those are called Pepperoni over here.

No, this is pepperoni, this is paprika, and the spicy things related to paprika are generally called chili.

Those pages are in Norsk.

As a native English speaker;

Peppers are the plant things.

Paprika is a seasoning made from peppers.

And pepperoni is a type of spiced meat (a dakn tasty one too).

Plus, "every other language" is irrelevant when the object of the argument is English. Had the image been in German, then English would be irrelevant.
