Fry Onions, Garlic, Carrots, Peppers & Celery (optional) with cumin, salt and pepper until soft. Set aside.
Fry Mince until brown, add chilli power (1 1/2 teaspoons), 1/2 a paprika until its a satisfying orange colour
Add fresh chillis or chilli flakes
Add veg back in and 2 x tinned tomatoes
1 x kidney beans in chilli sauce
1 x chick peas
1 x baked beans (Branston obvs)
1 x desert spoon brown sugar.
Let fester for as long as possible (a week is good).
Eat.

No, no, no - wrong beans! Always Branston - plus they are currently 1p cheaper for a 4-pack than Heinz at Morries. We are taking austerity seriously here.

I hope it was not the kind of 'pendant' that I saw on one early-hours visit to the forum. A photograph of one very large forum 'member' ... :whistle:

I've noticed that different recipes 'demand' that one uses chopped fresh chillies (seeds included or not), chilli flakes, crumbled bird's-eye chillies, chilli powder plus a few more choices too.

Is it really possible to tell which one has been used in the final epicurean delight?
YES easily. :hungry:
Unless some numpty has 'larded' that much in that your taste buds are fried (ref to Dave Lister for example)
 
I lived for a while in Albuquerque back in the 70s, right on old Route 66 in fact, and learned to make chilli there. It never ceases to amaze me the way people in Britain and Australia make chilli or imagine it to be. I have never once had anything like a genuine chilli outside of America. It is not meant to be an elaborate curry like stew, let alone seeved over rice, but a very simple dish of beans, chillis, tomatoes and a few spices, ground meat if you're making chilli con carne. I like to add chopped onion.

Serve in a bowl with saltine crackers broken over the top and a splash of vinegar.

Good old fashioned truckstop chilli as served on Route 66 in the good old days

Nobody, bar one, attempted to answer the original question anyway!
