Ärende: BULK CHILLI 90301
=========================
 -=> Quoting Dave Drum to Glen Jamieson <=-

 GJ> In a supermarket in Nadi, Fiji, I saw spices in bulk bins, priced by

 DD> you well know a good chilli spice blend goes well on many things.

It was, of course, the pure ground, dried chilies, which is how the
ethnic Indian half of the Fijian population prefers to buy it, so they,
like you, can mix their own.  Pre-mixed blends are sold in Indian
stores here, but under the name of chicken (or beef, vegetable, etc)
garam masala.

 DD> I buy chile powders in bulk for a numer of things - making my own
 DD> chilli spice blend(s), for mixing rubs - such as you sampled at the
 DD> Maryland picnic, and for
 DD> making chile verde, etc.

Which was same in the large can that you gave me on that occasion, and
I brought back to Australia.  Even the quarantine inspector who opened
the can and sniffed it said it was wonderful.  It made the best grilled
chicken wings, ever!
