Chili was just an excuse to use meat that was going rancid, the chili peppers hid the taste

The same has been said of all spices.

Chili was a way of making rancid meat palatable.
It might also be related to how Aztecs cooked up their human sacrifices - stewed with peppers and tomatoes.

I use 5-7 types of chilis in mine, only 2 are for heat, the rest are for flavor, I use cubed chuck, ground chuck and real fresh made pork chorizo.

NO BEANS!!

Anyone that doesn’t like chili is probably a pinko-commie.

Oddly, I have never had a spicy ‘hot’ tamale.

"It might also be related to how Aztecs cooked up their human sacrifices

Bernal Diaz Del Castillo wrote that Moctezuma threatened to kill Cortez and eat him with Mole' at one of their initial interviews. I gather from this that Mole' was the Aztec's preferred sauce for human flesh.

Yeah, they’re good, but the masa casing is kinda bland.

I have been looking for some good chili that can be bought retail. There are scores of different brands, but most of those I’ve tried are way too salty, so salty, that I can’t finish the can. A few have had a more agreeable flavor, but most of those are too soupy, too runny.
Any suggestions?

I’m thinking I will probably just have to make my own.
Conduct another ‘experiment’ in my own kitchen.

“Generally, a mole sauce contains a fruit, chili pepper, nut, and such spices as black pepper, cinnamon, or cumin.”

Use a tomato for the fruit and use cumin for a spice, and it sounds a base for chili to me.
