Hola. Necesito ayuda para interpretar esta frase, en un artículo periodístico sobre una receta de cocina:
"I asked myself that question after I found a 700-year-old recipe for one of my favorite foods, merguez—North Africa’s beloved lamb sausage that is positively crimson with chiles."
¡Gracias!

que los chiles/la guindilla vuelve/n (color) carmesí
Como comenté en mi nota arriba, es una forma enfática de decir el color, pero no me va mucho la traducción litera ("completamente carmesí de guindilla).

"positively teeming with ill-intentioned people" books.google.co.uk/books?isbn=0307557375 (this is Julian Barnes, the novelist writing here!)
"positively soaked with blood" books.google.co.uk/books?isbn=1408833697
"positively" is an intensifier, the equivalent of "completely".
