The next day you should eat chili is -
Do you love chili? Do you think your chili
will make sweat stand out on your forehead or make you
see stars? Can your chili stand up to the competition?
Cook up a batch of chili and we'll see or just come and
have a taste or a whole bowl of red.
This is the hot spot where you can find out about
the goings-on of the Warriors of the Crimson Pepper. We
also link you to hot spots around our Chili world.
"Chili is not so much
food as a state of mind. Addictions to it are formed
early in life and the victims never recover. On blue
days in October, I get this passionate yearning for a
bowl of chili, and I nearly lose my mind."
-- Margaret Cousins, novelist

|
 |
The first chili powder
was created in 1894 when German-American
café owner William Gebhardt in New
Braunfels, Tex. ran pepper bits through
a small home meat grinder three times
and then dried the ground pepper into a
powder. The Gebhardt brand of chili
powder is today regarded by many chili
cooks as a premium chili powder and
specified by name in their recipes. |
