3749.0. "CHILI MIX - HELP SAVE MY LOVELIFE!" by MIACT::TAYLOR (Debra Taylor) Wed Feb 17 1993 10:13

    HELP
    
    I found a packet Chilli mix for chicken in my boyfriends cupboard, I
    cooked this for him and he loved it, said it was the best thing Id ever
    cooked !!! For me this is praise indeed ..
    
    Ive looked all over and cant find the same thing, has anyone seen this
    or something similar.  I really am a duffer in the kitchen, so all
    short cuts appreciated.
    
    Thanks

    THAT'S ALRIGHT! You can't duplicate it because the stuff was sitting in
    his cupboard aging for at least 5 years.  :-)
    
    Try the chili notes file on RUSURE::CHILI, killer chili is the best.
    But it has lots of other recipes.
    
    There are also a lot of notes in here, mostly in note 27.  Other
    references can be found in the Alphabetical index in note 5.

    	Those chilli mixes are usually a combination of cayenne pepper,
    black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, dehydrated onions, and possibly a
    few other assorted spices. You should be able to get close by
    experimenting, starting with some of the recipes you were pointed to in
    .-2. You may even find something he likes BETTER.

I recently found packets of chili mix mixed in with dry soup mixes at
Shaw's Market. Not the boxed soup mixes, but the cellophane sacks like
Aunt Millie's Real Italian Garden Lentil etc... You might try searching
those out.

    Much as I would love to do my shopping at Shaw's the cost of the plane
    would probably be limiting!!!!  Maybe I should have said earlier, Im in
    England.  But thanks for your reply.

3749.6Are you in Reading?PGREEN::WARRENJtriple choc experienceWed Feb 24 1993 18:327

    Not sure where you are in England, but  if you're around Reading,
    possible places could be County Deli', Savacentre or some of the ethnic
    shops in the Oxford Road.

    A few clues might help here, like...
    
    Have you still got the packet in which the mixture came?
                                        
    If not
    
    Can you remember the manufacturer? e.g. Homepride, Knorr, Batchelers,
    etc
    
    Can you remember the exact name of the mix?
    
    At the end of the day, the mixes are pretty much all of a sameness. You
    could wander down an aisle and buy a few different packets and
    experiment. You never know, you may find something better or more
    exciting.

    I live in the Sunny west Midlands, I cant remember the manufacturers
    name and threw the pack out after using it.  I did try and experiment
    but I only got a 7 out of 10 for my efforts!!!!!
    
    Ill keep trying, thanks for your help
