chili!

Six or so 15ish ounce cans of diced tomatoes (or the equivalent in
fresh REAL tomatoes.....for those of you whom we would cheerfully kill
for it).

Ditto cinnamon.

6, 8, or twelve ancho chilis.....depending on size and personal
tastes. *Personally, I'd recommend 10, 12, or 16......if you're really
interested in making chili.

I'm sure it tastes just dandy but................you just described
tomato soup with chilis'

If you're really interested in making chili you omit the tomato and
use a chili paste, preferably home made with a mixture of chili's. And
save the freeking cinnamon for toast, rolls, and that stuff they call
chili in SW Ohio.

At least you left out the beans.

this is public service announcement from the Indianapolis chapter of
chili snobs.
