Not a quiz but a query: I spotted these three limes and hot peppers hung over a shop doorway on Gerrard East (Little India). Anybody know what the significance is?
I have found one pertinent quotation online: "Hanging in the doorways of every business, like mistletoe, is a tiny string of seven chili peppers and a lime to ensure prosperity." It's from a piece of writing by Guy Sibilla about a place called Jaisalmer in Rajasthan.
