Quote: Cumin I should have. How about dried coriander? I don't have chipotle, but I threw in some cayenne pepper and cajun seasoning, along with black pepper and salt. Oh, and paprika too.
What do you guys eat chili with usually? I was thinking of boiling up some rice, and either make a nice herb butter baguette, or eat it in tortillas.
I eat chili in a bowl like a thick soup or stew. As a main course We eat Chili with Saltine Crackers spread with butter. Just to chill out the heat.
Then the chili gets topped at the table with diced onions and shredded sharp cheddar. That way each person can put as much as they want.... Oh and sour cream to dollop on the top.
Instead of crackers I have used:
Sourdough bread spread with butter.
Or my personal favorite is Hoe Cake thats what Grandma Dixon called it. So Ridiculously easy to make Boil water mix with cornmeal (sorry cant find the measurements) the Cornmeal absorbs the hot water and swells and tuns into this ball of dough. Portion it out how ever you want and roll into balls. The smash em about a quarter inch to half inch flat and fry them in Bacon grease... Or corn oil... what ever you have... You can eat Hoe Cakes for any meal or snack.... savory or sweet....
Here is the closest recipe I can find online

My preferences for chili are sauteed cubed beef or chicken or turkey but in cubes so you can identify the meat.... chili seasonings and pinto beans and a little masa for thickening... there is an all in one package of seasonings and masa you can buy all you have to add is meat and water... I have only just learned an appreciation of tomatoes in chili....
Here is the seasoning package I get in the store.

I try to avoid anything premade, I like knowing what's in my food usually. Yesterday I went with boiled basmati rice, and some garlic-thyme-basil-butter bread. Today I heated some of the chili in the microwave, put it in tortillas, and added some aged emmental, parmesan, creme fraiche and rockets. A bit of a non traditional fajita. Might go with the same stuff tomorrow. I'm too lazy to cook different things every day just for myself when the old lady is gone.
The bag of chili is pretty much Masa, and spices. there is a list on the back. Nothing premade or preassembled. ITs just all pre measured. Not expensive either.

What is masa?
Masa or Masa Harina is the corn flour Mexicans use for Tortillas or Corn dough. Used as a thickener in chili. Or for Tamale Pie...OH yumm. And other things.What is masa?

I use the Wick Fowlers package to make my Chili too and I add some other things such as corn and jalapeño and diced roasted chills to give it more color and texture. I use sirloin cubed instead of ground beef. We did a chili cook off at work at it was well received. I measured out the ingredients that are included in the bag too but it is just easier to purchase the 'kit'What is masa?

Quote: I think corn is grown on a total area of about 400 hectares in Finland at the moment (about 1000 acres), so we don't really use all that much corn. It's not used in livestock feeding at all, and pretty much the only widespread uses are corn porridge for babies, and whole cobs of corn (that are usually sold precooked) grilled in the summer. Most of the stuff used for that is imported, as the corn fields are mostly in experimental stages still. Barley is the most grown crop around here (we make a lot of beer).![]()
