No-one tell him the cottage pie secret!

I used to add pineapple and banana to my chilli, but people found it weird, so I stopped. I have a secret ingredient though, and it isn't a bodily fluid.

You do know that most people put Chilli peppers in their Chilli don't you? thats not really a secret

Top tip - when you add pepper to a recipe, put a few whole peppercorns in as well. It's really nice when you find one

Oh and leave people to add their own cream/yoghurt as the idea is to decrease the hotness so some people like a lot, some people like a little and some people prefer none.

You be telling us next that you don't put cumin, unsweetened chocolate and thyme in it.

Oh, unsweetened chocolate. That's where I went wrong...

FWIW, Zippy is right, not everyone likes sour cream/yoghurt; let them add their own.

Shhhhhshhh! Don't tell everyone the magic ingredient otherwise their chili will be almost as good as mine!

Umami!

you are not too big to go over my knee , young lady

Yes she is, you're only a shortarse!

I dont know if I ever mentioned it, but I make the most fantastic chille.
It's one of the three or four dishes that I do really well.

Anyways, I was looking at this menu a few days ago and they had 'Chille topped with sour cream and chopped spring onions'
So I says to the missus later that I will try this idea. She says 'oh I always wondered why you never put sour cream and spring onions on the chille'
Checked with the daughter , check
the daughter in law, check

everyone in the world knew this. except me.

I feel such a culinery fool

I went to a columbian restaurant in Paris that did the most amazing chilli - but I'm sure sour cream wasn't involved in it, nor spring onions. I believe the south-american recipe calls for grated chocolate.

I tried the cream and onions last night. It went very well

Mrs EO had chives and black pepper as well.

In the 90's some restaurants (or maybe it was pubs), served chilli in a tortilla basket thing that needed a chainsaw to get through.

They did add sour cream though

Spring onions? Nah - it's all wrong IMO. And while we're on the subject, I'd prefer to add my own sour crean thenkyouverymuch.
Fookin peasants food.
