Which is why I embarked on this Quixotic quest to standardise the spelling and
usages of all things Chilli.

Chilli is the stew of various ingredients flavoured with chilies and other
herbs. Typically made with a chilli spice mix (sometimes called (erroneously)
"chilli powder").

Chile is the pod (fruit) of the capsaicin bearing plant. The plural of chile is
chilies. The ground pods are (or should be) called ground chile or chile
powder.

Brief, simple and if everyone would adhere to the standard - much ambiguity
could be removed from the culinary world.   Bv)=

Chances of that happening hover between slim and none. Last time I checked -
Slim was on vacation and had been gone for a long enough span that it might be
classed as a leave of absence.   Bv)=
