So heare I am, eating chili for dinner. I had it for lunch yesterday, and then forgot to have dinner... I have portionned and frozen the rest, anyway.

It is really good! I am going to tell you something though, that some may have heard before, but may seem strange to others. Next time you make chili, you should put in some cocoa powder. I' *am* serious! Some people are not going to be too put out by this suggestion (hi Shan ;) I'm sure, but others must think I am mad!

Trust me, though: in one batch of chili, try about 1-3 tablespoons (I went light in this batch). I can't really *describe* the flavour, but it is tasty, the end.

Thank you again, South America!

Maybe we should just cut ot the middle man and make chocolate Guiness....

Actually, when I was in Ireland, I had a piece of ridiculously tasty chocolate Guiness cake... with Canadian whiskey icing. Yum!

I know people who use both chocolate and Coca Cola in their chili. I haven't tried it, but I'm told it's the best chili in the universe. Of course, every chili cook says that about their chili.

I dunno about coke... I'm sure the spicyness would be good (and of you made chili with steak instead of ground beef, it would help make it extra tender!) but I dunno about the sugar... hmmm.
