- This is a chili traditional in our Super-Bowl Sunday festivities.
- It has won several ``no holds barred'' (non ICS) chili
- cookoffs where there are no specific rules. It is the result
- of countless changes and adjustments of a small group of chili
- afficianados (aka chiliheads). Note:
- there is a range of peppers specified, you may adjust the ``temperature'' of
- the resultant chili, mild if you use the low end, or nuclear
- if you use the high end (we do!).
