SAN ANTONIO, Texas (CNN) – Some people prefer coffee. Others, Red Bull.

Hillary Clinton, apparently, runs on hot peppers.

"I eat a lot of hot peppers," Clinton told a crowd in San Antonio. "They keep me healthy. They keep me going. And they remind me of South Texas."

Clinton was reminiscing about her time spent working for the DNC in the 1970s, when she signed up to register Hispanic voters in Texas.

"I lived in San Antonio for three months," she said. "I lived in San Antonio for three months. It's where I became addicted to Mexican food and mango ice cream."

– CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby

Pablo Cruz		February 14th, 2008 12:49 am ET So that's why she has such a sour expression all the time. And there I was thinking that it was because she knew she was losing.
