The Mannheim Fisher effect is a variety of the well-known Fisher effect in economics. According to Norman Steenrod, the Mannheim Fisher effect is trivially part of the Category Theory. It refers to the relationship between nominal interests, real interests, and third party expectations (Figure 1). The relationship was discovered by Hiram Kümper in the Irish Pub on 22nd March, 2017, shortly before midnight (Figure 2). An enhanced Mannheim Fisher effect is called Mannheim Chili effect. In contrast to standard assumptions in information economics, the Mannheim Chili effect does not presume the unrestricted optimum being on the border.

At the latest, the corona pandemic has told us the importance of coffee breaks. Consequently, our workshops are without presentations.

Wir planen das 5. Mannheimer Chili-Frühstück im September oder Anfang Oktober 2024. Den genauen Tag werden wir voraussichtlich erst im Laufe des  Jahres festgelegen können, abhängig von den Corona-Bedingungen, der Chili- und Apfelernte.

Bei Interesse bitte an sekretariat.mathmail-uni-mannheim.de wenden.

1. Mannheimer Chili-Frühstück, Herbst 2017

Take any favorite (uncooked) Bircher muesli recipe. Add finely chopped chilis (Capsicum chinense, Capsicum baccatum) at your own taste and let them soak with the Bircher muesli over night. Note:

• reduce sugar, as chilis intensify sweetness;
• do not cook the chilis;
• adding the chilis in the morning results in a slightly less harmonizing muesli;
• any oat muesli etc. is fine -- do not take popped mueslis or cornflakes;
• adding curd reduces the spiceness, allowing for more tasteful chilis.

Not all chili cultivars equally suit Chili con Muesli. As a general rule, chilis that have a strong and pure citrus flavor with a good ratio between taste and spiceness are excellent.

• Examples for excellent chilis for Chili con Muesli are Fatalii, Trinidad Perfume, Trinidad Scorpion Yellow, and Dulce Estrella.
• The Bhut Jolokia family is lovely. Moderately surprisingly, its members tend to dominate the taste of the Chili con Muesli.
• Carolina Reaper has a clearly reduced ratio of taste to spiceness in comparison to Fatalii.
• Interestingly, many Habanero  cultivars blend less well with muesli than expected. Some fit well, e.g., Goronong.
• Capsicum pubescens and most cultivars of Capsicum annum do not blend well with muesli.

Fresh chilis are best for Chili con Muesli. To conserve for winter time, freeze the chilis. Only if not enough space is available, chop them beforehand. Freezing as a whole keeps much of the taste, in contrast to drying.
