Damn spice aisle at the store is a mess of conflicts on that one. I was taught chile for the crunchy thing that grows on a bush, and chili for the stuff in the bowl you don't want to eat too close to bedtime, yet at the gourmet shop where I used to work, my boss <I>insisted</I> that only the <I>country</I> is chile and everything else is chili.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and about that pooty "artisanal?" I'm banning that and "artisan" from my food vocabulary. With places like Quiznos gabbing about using "artisan" bread in their sucky, over-priced subs, it's lost all meaning.MizDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143579988879218142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1162688195624386282006-11-04T16:56:00.000-08:002006-11-04T16:56:00.000-08:00NS: Thanks.
